Crowd sourcing is supposed to lead to a lot of various kinds of breakthroughs.

Wonderful! But I hate Google’s tracking of my every move! I use IXQuick for a search engine. They search google and several other search engines,, but no IP tracking, no cookies, etc..

This could really hurt Big Pharma. Thus I suspect they will buy him off and we’ll never see this again.

Yes, Big Pharma (or Big Medical Machinery) will buy (or, more likely, license) that patent for a significant amount of money, and then proceed to make that money back many times over as part of an evil conspiracy to bring that cancer-testing product to market & save countless thousands of lives.

Except for it’s 26,000 times cheaper than current methods, so that means it is bad news for Big Pharma. There is a trending movement in med schools and residency programs right now called Just Say No To Drug Reps.

These are especially being used well in developing countries where they don't have much infrastructure.

I hope he hires a bodyguard. I suspect he’s made some Very Important People very angry. Big Pharma, anyone?

I could have sworn I read the exact same story about a year ago, involving a young girl.

This is very interesting:
Pathology professor Dr. Anirban Maitra was the only doctor out of 200 that Andraka had contacted to give the eager young student lab access at Johns Hopkins to conduct his science fair project.
199 other doctors (I assume research types) unwilling to give a young thinking person the time of day.

My mom died 3 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and, because of the daily fear I have of also succumbing from it, I sure hope this kid’s testing is approved. Or, any kind of preemptive testing, trials, breakthroughs. I thought after Patrick Swayze died from it, it would become the cancer du jour with tons of money coming in, but, alas, it wasn’t.
