Bill > J01417

This resolution honors Arnav Pemmaraju for being named a 2026 Regeneron Science Talent Search Scholar, a prestigious distinction awarded to high school seniors for their research. The Regeneron Science Talent Search, established in 1942, is the nation's oldest and most esteemed science and mathematics competition for high school seniors, selecting only 300 scholars from thousands of applicants. Arnav earned this recognition for his groundbreaking research project in computational biology and genomics, demonstrating exceptional analytical skill and innovation. As a scholar, he will receive a $2,000 award, with a matching grant for his school, William A. Shine-Great Neck South High School, to further support science education. This achievement reflects great credit upon Arnav, his family, mentors, and his school district, and he serves as an inspiration to students across New York State.
