Melbourne: A 14-year-old girl of Indian-origin has been crowned as
Australia's brainiest student in a neuroscience knowledge competition held
in Sydney, reports ANI. Uma Jha, from Perth's Shenton College, in inner-west
Shenton Park, beat over 4000 competitors from across Australia to bag the
title.
The 2010 Australian Brain Bee Challenge is designed to test high school
students on a range of topics, including intelligence, memory, emotions,
sleep, Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Uma has to compete against other
state winners in the national final of the competition, which included a
brain-teasing anatomy exam, doctor-patient diagnosis and a neuroscience
quiz.
"The competition was tied right up until the end and it was a really
nerve-wracking finish," News.com.au quoted Uma as saying after the event.
"I've never won a national science competition before, so it's amazing."
Uma will now travel to California for the International Brain Bee Challenge
in August.

A 13-year-old boy stabbed in the chest at a Brisbane school is in a critical
condition.
Police are questioning a youth after the boy was stabbed at a Catholic
school in Brisbane about 8.30am (AEST) on Monday.
"We've treated a child with a puncture wound to the chest," a Department of
Community Safety spokeswoman said.
"He's been transported to the Royal Children's Hospital under lights and
sirens."
A spokesman for Education Minister Geoff Wilson said the boy was in a
critical condition.
Police said they were speaking with a youth about the incident.
