Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday June 21st

2021 and I'm the host of the show Kara Santa Maria. We've got a really special show

for you this week but before we dive into it, I do want to thank those of you who continue to make Talk Nurdy possible week after week.

Remember TalkNurdy is and will always be 100% free to download, and that's because many of you pledge your support each week so that those who can't

afford to support the show can still listen for free.

Let's give a shout out to some new supporters. I'm going to do this a little

bit differently than usual. So my newest supporters include Rika Maharaj,

Tepo Sader, Palwador, Bobby Cox, Daniel Glenn, Diana Hill, Daniel Haydock, Friedrich Venz, Marcus Hurler.

I love this, the Great lord's toilet companion.

You didn't think I'd be giving you a shout out

at the top of the show, did you?

Skip Sanders, Adam Hepburn, and Joanna Hiles.

Thank you all so much for your support.

All right, we've got a really exciting one this week because I had the opportunity to talk to some

bright young minds.

First up, I've got 16-year-old Michelle Hua. She won the Regeneron International Science and Engineering

Fair, otherwise known as ISF and she was recognized for her discovery of an

artificial intelligence-based system used for human action recognition.

So she used human silhouettes to design and implement a novel deep learning framework that outperformed similar state of the art systems.

Incredible.

And then after Michelle I also get to talk to Yunso Choi, she won first place at the Regeneron Science Talent Search.

And her project, she's a high school senior, actually just finished her senior year.
