When the Press-Citizen spoke with her in January, Iowa City West student Dasia Taylor maintained she wasn t a scientist. But that hasn t kept the accolades from rolling in.
The most recent award was broadcast Monday, when the 17-year-old sat across from TV talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres and explained her invention. I set out to create cost-effective sutures that change color when an infection is present, Taylor said to DeGeneres at a taping of her show, which aired locally at 4 p.m. Monday on CBS. And hey, now I m here with you.
Taylor explained to DeGeneres how she became interested in the subject after her teacher, Carolyn Walling, introduced the class to the Society for Science & the Public s Regeneron Science Talent Search. Though sutures similar to Taylor s existed previously, they used technology that demanded a high price point.
