Time Well Spent | Marissa Witmer | TEDxYouth@Lancaster

How we choose to spend our time can impact our lives and the lives of others. Marissa was a finalist at the 2016 International Science and Engineering Fair for her project “Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer’s in Type II Diabetes Patients.” She chooses to spend her time on research and other activities that have value.

Marissa has had the honor of going to the 2016 International Science and Engineering Fair as a Finalist for her project “Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer’s in Type II Diabetes Patients. Marissa is currently continuing her research at Hershey Medical Center and working as
