Luc Tran:

You have gotten good advice from a number of people. Keep your project simple &
focused, do your background research, and collect hard data of your own. This time of
year the lime-sulfur project might indeed be your best bet.

Alan:

The BCI Science Fair project is a great idea! It should be fairly broad in scope, so
that general horticultural research could qualify, but not so broad as to include
project of the "what happens if I deprive a plant of light?' category. One way of
promoting the concept would be to start by giving special BCI awards at state &
national Science Fairs for high quality projects related to horticulture. This would
cast a wider net than would be attracted to a bonsai convention. The winners could then
be invited to present their projects at the BCI convention.

Just a few thoughts.
