West Babylon Senior High School students visited the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Dec. 7 to conduct X-ray protein crystallography under the guidance of teacher Andrea Durbin.

As a part of BNL’s Student Partnership for Advanced Research and Knowledge program, high schoolers joined students from Longwood, Islip, Eastport-South Manor, Connetquot and Harborfields in a collaborative effort to study and resolve the 3D structure of proteins that are currently unknown. Proteins are organic compounds that are responsible for many functions within living organisms. The protein being studied by the West Babylon students was one that may have a role in individuals with cystic fibrosis.

The SPARK program allows high school students to work directly with BNL's scientists. Participants obtain real research experience while utilizing BNL’s cutting-edge facilities. Once completed, the research conducted by these students will be published in a national database as well as presented at a symposium at the end of the year to Brookhaven’s scientific community. West Babylon Senior High School students involved included Nicole Rex, Joel Colas, Julian Cruz, Maria Moreno Lopez, Erin Fider, Nandini Ramesh, Dheera Misra, Melanie Jastrzebski and Saad Syed.

Army Challenge Tests West Babylon Students

West Babylon Senior High School students put their fitness skills to the test as they participated in the Army Fitness Challenge on Nov. 12. During their physical education classes, students were divided into groups and went head-to-head against their classmates – as well as other school districts – to see if they had what it takes to be Army strong.

Local Army soldiers took over the physical education classes as part of the challenge. Students rotated through various stations where they also learned about living a healthy lifestyle and the importance of being active. The four stations – buddy carry, modified sprint/weighted carry relay, cross functional fitness relay and Hex bar lifts/teambuilding – challenged their physical strength but encouraged students to work together.

Additionally, the West Babylon classes will have their times at each station compared with other schools in the area to potentially earn the title of the Army’s Certified Fittest School.
