Meera Mistry (11HSG) recently attended the University of Auckland’s Centre for Brain Research to experience ‘A day in the life of a neuroscience’ after participating in the Brain Bee competition, which the Neurological Foundation supports.
She then wrote an essay that the Neurological Foundation considered so good that they will publish it in their quarterly magazine, Headlines, which goes to about 20,000 of their supporters!
The Foundation also plans to feature some of her words in an appeal letter it intends to send out with the magazine.
As Glenda Kane (Communications & Engagement Specialist, Neurological Foundation of New Zealand) put it, “The excitement that she conveys so beautifully in her essay is a fitting way for us to talk about the ‘next generation’ of brilliant brains.”
Congratulations, Meera, on this impressive achievement!
