He is only a freshman at North County High School in Anne Arundel County.
However, 15-year-old Jack Andraka is being recognized for developing what may become an effective way to detect pancreatic cancer.
"I've created a paper sensor and it can detect pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer," Andraka told WBAL News.
"Basically it costs 3-cents and takes about five minutes to run, so ti can be used in routine screenings, and I found that it could detect the cancer before it became invasive, and your chance of survival is much greater before it becomes invasive."More at [ link to www.wbal.com] Quoting: Laura Bow It's hilarious how these high school kids do shit that costs almost nothing meanwhile these giant companies with massive money and tons of "really smart" employees don't do it Yep, but either way it's a wonderful story and it sounds like we need more of those kids out there!
