That's the way I feel, when I, everyday when I go out and... 790 00:47:31,882 --> 00:47:34,452 work with them. But your whole... 791 00:47:34,452 --> 00:47:37,355 approach into the science part of it is just taking 792 00:47:37,355 --> 00:47:39,457 it to a way higher level, 793 00:47:39,457 --> 00:47:41,692 so, it's pretty cool for me to see that, too. 794 00:47:43,027 --> 00:47:46,464 I don't know. It's the same passion. 795 00:47:51,469 --> 00:47:53,571 So today, we are having the 63rd annual 796 00:47:53,571 --> 00:47:55,573 High Plains Regional Science and Engineering Fair. 797 00:47:55,573 --> 00:47:58,542 We have such a wide range of projects here today, um... 798 00:47:58,542 --> 00:48:01,946 We have some engineering projects involving hover boards. 799 00:48:01,946 --> 00:48:06,550 We have biological sciences projects that are involving grass-fed buffalo 800 00:48:06,550 --> 00:48:09,453 and just a wide variety of projects that we see every year. 801 00:48:11,622 --> 00:48:14,425 Very stressed. That's what I'm feeling like. 802 00:48:14,425 --> 00:48:16,460 I'm still trying to figure out 803 00:48:16,460 --> 00:48:18,996 my elevator speech, but that didn't really come together 804 00:48:18,996 --> 00:48:21,499 last year either until the first judge came around. 805 00:48:21,499 --> 00:48:24,568 Your passion comes out when you get to talk about these things. 806 00:48:24,568 --> 00:48:26,303 Start with your passion, you know? 807 00:48:26,303 --> 00:48:28,572 That's where all of this came from is your heart. 808 00:48:28,572 --> 00:48:31,675 Tell me about your research. 809 00:48:31,675 --> 00:48:34,612 My family raises buffalo. We raise grass-fed buffalo 810 00:48:34,612 --> 00:48:38,115 um, because we believe in the cultural significance and the health benefits. 811 00:48:38,115 --> 00:48:41,652 But I want to use science to prove that to the rest of the world. 812 00:48:41,652 --> 00:48:45,923 And so, to do that, I've started analyzing the lipid content in buffalo meat. 813 00:48:45,923 --> 00:48:49,927 I took these four meat samples, grain-fed, and grass-fed, buffalo, and beef. 814 00:48:49,927 --> 00:48:53,097 And I extracted the lipids from the meat 815 00:48:53,097 --> 00:48:55,332 and I performed thin-layer chromatography 816 00:48:55,332 --> 00:49:00,471 on them to actually separate out the different lipid components. 817 00:49:00,471 --> 00:49:03,207 So, as you can see, grain-fed beef exhibited 818 00:49:03,207 --> 00:49:07,845 the greatest amount of bad fats and the least amount of good fats and vice versa 819 00:49:07,845 --> 00:49:11,182 for the buffalo meat. So, all this research ends up 820 00:49:11,182 --> 00:49:15,386 proving that grass-fed buffalo meat is really healthy 821 00:49:15,386 --> 00:49:17,321 and high in omega-3s and omega-6 822 00:49:17,321 --> 00:49:19,657 and low in these saturated fats 823 00:49:19,657 --> 00:49:21,492 and you should totally be eating this, 824 00:49:21,492 --> 00:49:24,795 which makes sense as I'm trying to talk about the Native American diabetes 825 00:49:24,795 --> 00:49:26,730 epidemic and a traditional diet. 826 00:49:26,730 --> 00:49:31,068 My dad always talks about how buffalo, they don't get sick. 827 00:49:31,068 --> 00:49:34,405 And it's because they know how to find those medicinal plants 828 00:49:34,405 --> 00:49:36,173 that are native to the area 829 00:49:36,173 --> 00:49:39,710 and I want to do research that proves traditional knowledge 830 00:49:39,710 --> 00:49:41,645 that we have with modern science. 831 00:49:41,645 --> 00:49:43,714 The possibilities are endless. 832 00:49:44,849 --> 00:49:46,383 You guys have any questions for her? 833 00:49:46,383 --> 00:49:48,586 What did you guys think of her project? 834 00:49:48,586 --> 00:49:50,087 I've got one question.
