    Science Olympiad Alumni Where Are They Now? Stories of Scientific Achievement and Inspiration To celebrate the 20th anniversary of national competition in 2004, Science Olympiad began an effort to track down its most illustrious alumni. We were specifically interested to discover if Science Olympiad had an impact on the choice of a career in science or technology. Of the hundreds of respondents, more than 80% answered with a resounding “Yes!” Kathleen Markiewicz Teacher, Boston Public Schools Competed from 1998 to 2000 “It solidified my love for science. I enjoyed getting to learn about many areas of science in Science Olympiad, and I continue to be interested in lots of science disciplines. In particular, Science Olympiad showed me that I love chemistry and physics, which ultimately were my majors for my undergraduate degree. I am also coaching my own Science Olympiad team at the Boston Latin School, and it’s a great way to come full circle. My fiancé, who I met while on the Grand Haven High School Science Olympiad team, is also helping me coach.” Rich Radke Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Competed in the early 1990s “I believe that Science Olympiad was very helpful in showing me that science could be interesting and fun, and that there were organizations that rewarded people for achievement in science and math,” said an 18-year-old Radke in 1993. Today, Radke is a celebrated researcher and the winner of the National Science Foundation’s Early Career Development Award for his work with networked cameras.
