OLYMPIA, Wash.- The Washington state Department of Health (DOH) has announced the winners of its second annual Washington Tracking Network (WTN) Youth Science Contest.
According to the DOH the contest is an opportunity for high school students from across the state to develop science and communication skills by using health and environmental data from their own communities.
“It’s great to see the diversity of health issues the students care about, and to be able to provide them feedback to help them use science to improve the health of people in Washington,” said WTN Manager Jennifer Sabel.
