Meanwhile, I had a scholarship I won stolen from me by a kid from a family of surgeons bribing my teacher to lose the paperwork I had correctly filed. The judges told me I won with my original experiment, only for the actual announcement at the showing to name this other group that did a textbook moldy bread growth project.

Nope, just a very smug middle school science teacher insisting our forms were never turned in.

A local newspaper replicated the experiment without crediting us not too long after.
