Follow on Google News | Cate School student takes top honors at international Brain Bee competition in Florence, Italy.A day of grueling written, oral, and practical examination of neuroscience ended with Thanh-Liem Huynh-Tran '12, a rising senior at Cate School in Carpinteria, California, taking top honors at international Brain Bee competition in Florence, Italy.
By: Cate School This year's international competition took place on Saturday, July 16 in Florence, Italy. "TL" (as he is affectionately known on the Mesa) "had the time of his life," according to his mother, Le-Than Tran, who traveled to Italy with her son. Noting the competition was very close, Ms. Tran said "…winning was just icing on the cake. The kids made a Facebook group to chat before the competition, so by the time they got to Florence they already knew a lot about each other. When they parted on Saturday they were all so sad. It was the friendliest group of competitors I have ever seen." This year's International Brain Bee competitors came from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Korea, Poland, Nigeria, Italy, Romania, United Arab Emirates, and Germany. Ages ranged from 14 to 18. In addition to a large traveling trophy which will be displayed at Cate School during the coming school year, TL received a personal trophy, a $3,000 prize, and a summer internship with an esteemed neuroscientist. # # # Founded in 1910, Cate School is a grade 9-12, coeducational, college preparatory boarding school in Carpinteria, California.
