HEBRON — Daniella Lyons of Greene, a 2006 graduate of Hebron Academy, was recently named a winner in the first global student contest, “Portrait of My DNA” by Scitable, the online science community for students, educators, scientists, professionals and lifelong learners.

Scitable invited students to submit creative interpretations of their personal DNA in the form of text, images or video. Four winners were chosen from hundreds of international entries by science students from around the world.

Lyons, 21, a biology major at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, was awarded third place for her poem describing an extended analogy between the building blocks of her personality and the principles of nucleic acid structure and function.

First-, second-, and third-place winners received scholarships in the amounts of $1,000, $500 and $250, respectively, as well as recognition by Nature Publishing Group.
