Six Saint Anthony’s seniors have recently completed science research papers and have entered their work into two of the most prestigious national science competi - tions, the Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology and the Intel Science Talent Search under the guidance of Mr. Paul Paino, the director of the newly formed Saint Anthony’s Research Program, Friarquest. The team of Satya Makadia, Michael Ravella and Greg Reardon worked in the physics laboratories of SUNY Stony Brook and under the guidance of Dr. Thomas 1 2 F R I A R F O C U S 0 2 / 2 0 1 2 Hemnick and Dr. Andre Lipski. While their ultimate goal was to reduce a sample of wood from a tree to pure carbon and bombard it with sub-atomic particles in an attempt to determine its age, they had to settle for a sample of carbon dioxide due to time constraints. Their paper describing accel erator mass spectrometry, a novel method for carbon-14 dating, was entered into the 2011 Siemens Competition. In addition to Eric Caliendo’s work, two other seniors chose to study human behavior. Danielle Citera studied the effects of pet-therapy on nursing home patients in various stages of decline. She observed their Senior Eric Caliendo was named a National Semifinalist in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search. Eric was one of only three hundred students in the nation who qualified for this award. As a semifinalist, Eric has won a $1,000 scholarship, and Saint Anthony’s High School will receive a $1,000 award which will be put towards the Saint Anthony’s Research Program. Eric’s research focused on finding a correlation between the ability to recognize and recall information using both auditory and visual stimuli. He is now a candidate for the National Finals, which will be announced this month and has a chance to win the $100,000 top prize. Congratulations to Eric and his teacher, Mr. Paul Paino, on this most impressive achievement. Eric is the first Saint Anthony’s student since Amit Mehta received the same distinction in 2005. behavior before and after exposure to pets and concluded that the pets had a significant positive impact on the mood and overall physical and emotional well being of the patients. Alexa DeAngelis compared musicians to non-musicians, including both genders, and discovered that there may be a connection between the ability to memorize two-dimensional spatial patterns and the degree of musical training in an adolescent population of males and females. Danielle and Alexa entered their individual papers into the 2011-2012 Intel Science Talent Search.
Senior Christian Yeager achieved an Olympic qualifying time in the 200 meter backstroke at the 2011 US National Swim Championships in Atlanta this past December. His time of 2:04:88 will send him to the Olympic Trials in Omaha, NE in June 2012. Christian holds several Saint Anthony’s swimming records as well as the NYCSHAA record in the 100-yard backstroke. He has been named All-League and All-State in his sport every year of high school and was the top swimming recruit in New York State. Christian will be attending and swimming for Harvard University in September. Not only is he an outstanding swimmer, but an outstanding student as well. He is a National AP Scholar and a member of both the National Honor Society and the National Math Honor Society. Congratulations and best of luck in Omaha!
