Meet Jack. When Jack Andraka (who, by the way, is a teenager) was first trying to find a space to do his research on pancreatic cancer, many laboratories turned him down. Why? Because no one had time to entertain what they saw as the silly notions of a teenage boy. Nobody believed that a mere teen could come up with a better diagnostic test for the cancer than the one that’s been the medical standard for decades. And to be honest, I didn’t really believe it either at first.
But spoiler alert: Yep, he’s totally doin’ it.
Pretty neat, huh? If you’re as wowed by this kid as I am, consider sharing his story with your friends using the buttons below.
