Deux médailles de bronze aux Olympiades Internationales de Chimie
Thanh Phong Lê (Gymnase du Bugnon) et Nina Gämperli (Kantonsschule am Burggraben) ont tous deux obtenu une médaille de bronze aux Olympiades Internationales de Chimie (IChO).
Le Gymnasien lausannois Thanh Phong Lê (Gymnase du Bugnon), de Crissier VD et la Saint-Galloise Nina Gämperli (Kantonsschule am Burggraben) de Staad SG ont tous deux obtenu une médaille de bronze aux Olympiades Internationales de Chimie (IChO) qui se sont déroulées à Washington, D.C, USA, du 23 au 28 juillet 2012. Avec ce brillant résultat, ils égalisent le résultat de l’équipe suisse de l’an passé. De plus, il faut signaler que Than Phong Lê venait d’obtenir une autre médaille de bronze, aux Olympiades de Physique (IPhO) qui se sont déroulées en Estonie la semaine précédente.
