PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - This year’s George Washington Carver Science Fair Awards have been handed out, and among the honorees was retired astronaut and physician Bernard Harris.
Dr. Harris said the 32nd annual award ceremony isn’t about him, it’s about the elementary and high school students who are excelling in math and science every day.
“This country needs scientists of all ethnic backgrounds,” he said today during ceremonies at the Academy of Natural Sciences. “We need to ensure that all our communities have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams, no matter what their dreams are.”
