Obama meets two Indian American winners of Google Science fair

Washington, Oct 5 (PTI) US President Barack Obama has
congratulated two Indian-Americans who were among the three

the field of medical science and environment.
Obama met Shree Bose and Naomi Shah on Tuesday.
Bose discovered a way to improve ovarian cancer treatment
for patients when they have built up a resistance to certain
chemotherapy drugs.
Shah in her project endeavored to prove that making
changes to indoor environments that improve air quality can
reduce people’s reliance on asthma medications.
The third winner Lauren Hodge studied the effect of
different marinades on the level of potentially harmful
carcinogens in grilled chicken.
The White House released a picture of the event on
Tuesday wherein Obama is seen talking with the three winners.
