Distinction Tie for Young Scientist Aadil Dawood
Congratulations to Aadil Dawood, who represented South Africa at the 2024 IISEEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) in Turkey this past December. Aadil has been awarded a Distinction Tie for winning a Bronze Medal for his project on The Spectrometric Analysis of Urinary Metabolic By-products Formed as a Result of Exercise, which examined how exercise impacts the body at the molecular level.
The IISEEF event brought together 143 young scientists from 10 countries, showcasing a range of STEM projects. Aadil, along with his teammate Thiedu Du Preez, made significant contributions to the understanding of exercise physiology. Aadil shared:
"Winning a Bronze Medal at IISEEF was an incredible experience. Meeting people from different countries and sharing ideas was inspiring."
His research contributes to our understanding of exercise and physiology and highlights the talent and potential within South Africa’s young scientists.
