Solution

When Richard was in his second year in high school, he did a research that led to his discovery of an unknown insect hormone.  He researched on the purpose of the twelve tiny gold spots on a monarch pupa. He was able to prove that the spots were producing a hormone necessary for the butterfly’s full development while the whole world thought it was ornamental. His project also led to his new theory on the life of cells.
