Congratulations Julia Chartove
2009 US National Brain Bee Winner!

Thirty-two students gathered this weekend at the University of Maryland in Baltimore representing 32 cities in 20 states. Each was the winner of a regional Brain Bee competition.  Below are the names. They were here to compete in the 2009 USA National Brain Bee Championship. After 2 days of exhausting competition involving orals, writtens, neuroanatomy laboratory exams, and patient diagnosis exams, five competitors  advanced to Part 2 of the 2009 USA National Brain Bee Championship.  In the end, the last one left standing, and the new USA Champion was Julia Chartove from Richard Montgomery High School. She represented the Washington, DC regional Brain Bee sponsored by the Dana Alliance. Julia will now represent the United States at the International Championship which will held in Toronto this Summer. The USA National Brain Bee Championship sponsored by University of Maryland Dental School Department of Neural and Pain Sciences, The Nimmagadda Foundation,  and the International Brain Research Organization. The top five competitors were Julie Chartove, Anusha Kumar, Sarah Belk, Nithya Vijayakumar and Geon Woo Kim, and their pictures can be found on our past winners page.
