National Youth Science Forum
I attended the pre Rio Tinto NYSF mixer/social in my senior year - geeky kids, talking science/careers and the upcoming science forum.
The room was quiet, i approached the group and commented: 'it's like someone has died..' silence followed, one of the group pulled me aside and explained that a rather bright girl set to do our orientation (who had attended the last year's forum) was killed in a car accident the day before. bollocks.
