Pittsburgh Student to Publish Anthrax Project

An AP newswire article, via ABC News, reports that:

A high school student who showed in a science fair project that using a clothes iron on mail can kill anthrax-like spores inside without damaging the contents of the envelope will have that research published later this year.

Marc Roberge, 17, a senior at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, decided to experiment on the issue after discussing his father's work as a medical toxicologist for the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention office in the Pittsburgh suburb of South Park. His research will appear in the Journal of Medical Toxicology in June.
