my brother is awesome!!
he is one of 300 finalists nationally for his science fair project. it has the boring name of: A Toxicity Analysis of Cardiovascular Scaffold Degradation
there are some other great science fair project names that made the finalist round. my fav: When Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Were Alive Probability Mattered

Haw! I'm a fan of "A Sticky Situation: What Removes Gum from Hair the Best?"
Pass on my congratulations to Ishan!
edit: "Does Soft Tissue Exist in Mosasaur Teeth?" sounds exactly like what I used to do for science fairs.
These also remind me of when my dad used to read the titles of his students' doctoral theses aloud and we would try to summarize them in five (unscientific) words or less.
Nice! The title lets me know that it would go woosh over my head if i tried to understand. But its nice to know there are folks out there who are way smarter than me. thanks gods.

this gizmodo has some nice explanation photos: auxetics: objects that actually get fatter the more you stretch them.
agata, i think the title is the hardest part of the project to understand. basically, he got this scaffolding stuff from pitt, dropped it in saline and watched it dissolve. but he did do a damn good job of watching it dissolve! ;)
Not to undermine the value of his project, but worth dredging up again:
