Thought I'd highlight our ICIS chemicals confidential blog (http://www.icis.com/blogs/icis-chemicals-confidential/) that mentions an article in the Taiwan News about a high school girl who has discovered a polystyrene-eating bacterium.
The article, Top awards in last month's Intel International Science Fair go to Tseng I-Ching from Taiwan who discovered a 'red bacterium' derived from mealworm beetles that metabolizes polystyrene, is here: http://www.mnn.com/technology/research-innovations/blogs/high-school-girl-discovers-styrofoam-eating-bacterium
Maybe stuff like this will encourage more kids to take up science!
