Meghana Rao, 17, of Portland, Ore., won the American Museum of Natural History Young Naturalist Award. Rao is a Jesuit High School junior who researched the ability of a class of charcoal known as biochar to store carbon. She also founded a student-run nonprofit organization, Portland Junior Scientists, which connects high school students with underprivileged youths through collaborative hands-on science experiments with the aim of inspiring them to pursue higher education.

Brittany Wenger, 17, of Bradenton, Fla., explains her research on breast cancer to President Obama. Wenger developed a computer program that improves cancer detection. The Global Neural Network Cloud Service for Breast Cancer combines data from a single less-invasive procedure to improve cancer detection. Originally conceived with the goal of helping hospitals diagnose and treat more women earlier, the service has already run 7.6 million trials, with 99.11 percent sensitivity.
