Two Hampton Bays High School science research students had the unique opportunity to present their research at Plum Island’s first STEM Student Forum on March 27. 

Riley Stotzky, a junior, and senior Ava Bianchi were among a selection of students from across Long Island who exhibited their work to leading researchers at Plum Island. Stotzky explored influenza for her project, while Bianchi analyzed alpha-gal syndrome.  

“This was a great event,” said science research teacher Dr. Stephanie Forsberg. “Our students represented Hampton Bays well and helped highlight our research program with the top epidemiologists and scientists in the nation.”
