24岁美女博士获2020美国小姐冠军

A Virginian biochemist has been named winner of Miss America 2020 after performing a live science experiment that defied stereotypes of the contest.
 
近日,2020年“美国小姐”桂冠花落弗吉尼亚的一名生化学家,她颠覆了传统比赛模式,在舞台上展示了一项科学实验。
 
 
Camille Schrier defeated 50 women to take the crown at Thursday's final in Uncasville, Connecticut.
 
Wearing a lab coat, the 24-year-old impressed judges with a chemistry demonstration in the talent show.
 
Ms Schrier won a $50,000 scholarship and a one-year role as Miss America.
 
In her acceptance speech, Ms Schrier said she hoped to "break stereotypes about what it means to be a Miss America in 2020".
 
Ms Schrier has two undergraduate science degrees and is studying a doctorate in pharmacy at Virginia Commonwealth University.
 
She reportedly told the celebrity panel, comprised of Kelly Rowland, Queer Eye's Karamo Brown and Superstore actress Lauren Ash, that "Miss America is someone who needs to educate".
