That year his project won first place at the International Science Fair and gave him another chance to work in the army laboratory during the summer His device won third in zoology as well.  . He also got a chance to work during the summer at the entomology laboratory of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. ]]> 2020-09-08 07:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/adveka495/b7i8jxpl2a2zaar3/wish/726404834 adveka495 https://padlet.com/adveka495/b7i8jxpl2a2zaar3/wish/726410160  In his senior year, he went a step further. 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. ]]> 2020-09-08 07:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/adveka495/b7i8jxpl2a2zaar3/wish/726410160 adveka495 https://padlet.com/adveka495/b7i8jxpl2a2zaar3/wish/726411303  The following summer, after his freshman year at Harvard University, Ebright went back to the laboratory of the Department of Agriculture and did more work on the hormone from the gold spots. Using the laboratory’s sophisticated instruments, he was able to identify the hormone’s chemical structure. ]]> 2020-09-08 07:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/adveka495/b7i8jxpl2a2zaar3/wish/726411303 adveka495 https://padlet.com/adveka495/b7i8jxpl2a2zaar3/wish/746870661  A year-and-a-half later, during his junior year, Ebright got the idea for his new theory about cell life.
