A Virginian biochemist has been named winner of Miss America 2020 after performing a live science experiment that defied stereotypes¹ 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 demonstration² 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 doctorate³ in pharmacy⁴ at Virginia Commonwealth⁵ University.

She reportedly told the celebrity⁶ panel, comprised of Kelly Rowland, Queer Eye's Karamo Brown and Superstore actress Lauren Ash, that "Miss America is someone who needs to educate".
