students were selected from the
People’s Republic of China and
Israel.
Both Sillman and Ohnick were
assigned to researchers for The
University of Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station
(UMAES) for three weeks this
summer to learn firsthand how
research is conducted.
Sillman, for example, worked
directly with Dr. Theophanes
Solomos, professor of horticulture
of UMAES.
“My work dealt with deter
mining the calcium content of
apples to help us predict
physiological disorders of fruits
after harvest,” said Sillman.
Ohnick worked with Dr. Charles
Mulchi, associate professor of
agronomy at UMAES.
“We worked on exposing
soybeans to ozone to determine the
damaging effects of pollution on
agricultural crops,” said Ohnick.
Both students will return after
the program this summer to their
respective hometowns to fimsh
senior years in high school.
After that? Both have general
ideas about their future. Sillman is
interested in biochemistry, Olinick
in a math-related field, such as
engineering.
Meeting privately with the two,
UM President John Toll told them
“We are indeed honored and
fortunate to have two gifted
students working side-by-side with
our researchers.”
