Burns & Levinson Demonstrates Community Commitment

Bradford Mei, 16, of the John D. O'Bryant School of Math & Science in Roxbury, was delighted to claim a $15,000 first-place prize recently in the third annual Power of an Idea® Scholarship Contest sponsored by Burns & Levinson LLP*.  Branford plans to use the money for tuition and legal patent services from Burns & Levinson, which recently filed a provisional patent on his behalf.  Branford invented a "sleep-alert wristband" that awakens people (like truckers and heavy equipment operators) when their pulse reaches a certain rate. The scholarship contest was open to students in Boston public high schools and charter schools; several students were given honorable mentions and trophies for being finalists.
