Shauna O Keeffe, a third-year student from Castleisland Community College, is hoping to win her second national title in as many years in the National Sophia Physics Competition.
Shauna was part of a group that won the Junior category last year, and this year she undertook her own research and entered the competition again.
She has now been short-listed as a finalist. Five different transition-year groups have also been short-listed as finalists in their categories.
Shauna s project is a study about electrostatics in bees and how they interact with flowers in nature.
Bees are among the earth s hardest-working creatures and are one of the most important plant pollinators.

Pandemic Precautions: Because of COVID-19, drive-thru voting on the Claremont School District warrant will be conducted from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, at three locations. Ward I will vote at Stevens High School; Ward II, Claremont Middle School; and Ward III, Disnard Elementary School.
Budget: The only appropriation on the school district warrant this year is the proposed $37.78 million budget for the 2021-22 school year.
School Board Chairman Frank Sprague said there are no separate warrant articles because last year voters approved using almost $3 million in one-time state money for several capital projects and establish two reserve funds for building renovations and bus repair and replacement.
