Jeffrey Wang, a senior at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, has proved his scientific prowess in the 2021 Regeneron Science Talent Search, having already won at least $25,000 as one of 40 finalists in the nationwide competition. Next week he moves into the last round of judging, in which the top 10 will be awarded $40,000 to $250,000 each.
