Who said that Science wasn't cool anymore, that our young generation is not interested in it? Maybe it is so, but things might change soon as 15yo Jack Andraka takes over the scientific world with his inventive cancer diagnostic tool!!
So because he is only 15, it would be highly inappropriate to call him sexy, let's just say he is soooo cool, he blew everyone's mind by imagining an easy to use, extra cheap and super sensitive special piece of paper that would detect if you are developing pancreatic cancer (but also ovarian, lung and maybe breast cancers). And the best, how did he work that out? By using information found on Google!!!!!!! So? Isn't that cool?
You can read more about it, here!
In brief, his project is a new dipstick type diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer using a novel paper sensor, similar to that of the diabetic test strip. This strip tests for the level of mesothelin, a pancreatic cancer biomarker, in blood or urine, to determine whether or not a patient has early-stage pancreatic cancer. He says the test is also effective for detecting ovarian and lung cancer, due to the same mesothelin biomarker they have in common.
EDIT: Oops, it seems that SSS was also blinded by the coolness of Jack. More perspective on the research and its usefulness is reviewed HERE
See you soon for more Cool and SS Science,
