Ebright collected butterflies. He also collected rocks, fossils, and coins. He became an eager astronomer.

# data[].attributes.body
Ebright had collected all twenty five species of butterflies found around his hometown.

He would take the eggs of a female monarch, and raise them in his basement through their life cycle. After which, he would tag the butterflies’ wings and let them go.

He entered the Country Science Fair with a neat display of frog tissues and lost.

Ebright tried to find the cause of a viral disease that kills nearly all monarch caterpillars every few years for his country science fair. He didn't get real results but still won the fair.

The next year his science fair project was testing the theory that viceroy butterflies copy monarchs. Ebright’s project was to see whether, in fact, birds would eat monarchs. This project was placed first in the zoology division and third overall in the county science fair.

In his second year in high school, Richard Ebright discovered an unknown insect hormone which ultimately led to his new theory on the life of cells. He believed that the twelve tiny gold spots on a monarch pupa weren't just ornamental thus he built a device to prove so and he won first place in the county fair and entry into the International Science and Engineering Fair.

He also got a chance to work during the summer at the entomology laboratory of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.

As a high school junior, Richard Ebright continued his advanced experiments and his project won first place at the International Science Fair and gave him another chance to work in the army laboratory during the summer.

# data[].attributes.body
In his senior year, he grew cells from a monarch’s wing in a culture and showed that the cells would divide and develop into normal butterfly wing scales only if they were fed the hormone from the gold spots. That project won first place for zoology at the International Fair.

He spent the summer after graduation doing further work at the army laboratory and at the laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

He was able to identify the hormone’s chemical structure by going back to the laboratory of the Department of Agriculture.

# data[].attributes.body
Ebright got the idea for his new theory about cell life.

# data[].attributes.body
Richard Ebright graduated from Harvard with highest honours, second in his class of 1,510. Then he became a graduate student researcher at Harvard Medical School.

# data[].attributes.body
a former ‘scout of the year’ excited the scientific world with a new theory on how cells work. Richard H. Ebright and his college roommate explained the theory in an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
