There are no young geniuses (i.e. top 40 finalists) in the 2008 Intel Science Talent Search this year from Colorado in 2008, nor are there any from Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or Oklahoma so we will have to root for the finalist from our neighbor to the South, New Mexico: Benjamin Edward Dozier, Los Alamos H.S., Los Alamos. Go Ben!
Given his location, we strongly suspect that scientific aptitude runs in the family for him.
Based on the articles I've read, neither of Ben's parents work at Los Alamos lab, actually!
