The Miss America contest has been held under new rules for the second year. Now, instead of demonstrating their ability to walk in swimsuits and evening gowns, participants must compete by showcasing other talents. Miss Virginia, Camille Schrier, has a background in biochemistry. Camille won Miss America 2020 with a spectacular science demonstration from a children’s science program, illustrating the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Fizz, boom! The jury was moved, no doubt about it.
