Jack Andraka, age 15, wins Intel ISEF award for his device to detect some cancers earlier, more quickly and at a drastically reduced cost than traditional testing. He is my inspiration. Do you doubt that a (geeky) therapeutic optometrist could uncover the layers of many ‘invisible illnesses’? Please keep your minds open! Innovative thinking can occur in unexpected places. A MUST SEE!
I just had to add that this young man is not only brilliant and inspiring, he is such a purely GOOD person. He helped me when I reached out to him as a complete stranger, in attaining patents for some of my work. I am not only indebted to him for his encouragement, I am inspired to him to move forward, against any and all roadblocks. Persistence is one thing he taught me. A GREAT young man… 😉
