Congressional Record, Volume 164 Issue 166 (Friday, October 5, 2018) [Congressional Record Volume 164, Number 166 (Friday, October 5, 2018)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1380] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING ODLE MIDDLE SCHOOL ON WINNING THE NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL ______ HON. ADAM SMITH of washington in the house of representatives Friday, October 5, 2018 Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Odle Middle School students: Ishan Bansal, Eric He, Neil Chowdhury, Eric Liu, and Clarance Zheng for their win at the National Science Bowl (NSB), held this past April 26 to April 30 in Washington, D.C. The Department of Energy (DOE) created the National Science Bowl in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science, and to pursue careers in these fields. More than 290,000 students have participated in the National Science Bowl throughout its 28-year history, and more than 14,000 students compete in the NSB every year. Coached by Rina Chowdhury with guidance from Interlake High School teacher Michael O'Bryne, the Odle Middle School team was among 48 middle schools from around the United States that competed for the national title. Winning this title is not an easy feat, and their perseverance is truly remarkable. In addition to being named the 2018 National Champions, the team's diligence and dedication earned Olde's Science Department $1000, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I recognize the enormous achievement of Odle Middle School and its students Ishan Bansal, Eric He, Neil Chowdhury, Eric Liu, and Clarance Zheng. Their impressive potential to thrive in a range of scientific and mathematical fields is demonstrated by their victory at the 2018 National Science Bowl, and I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. ____________________
