This is a "first look" presentation of Jack Andraka's opening keynote presentation at Stanford Medicine X on Saturday September 28, 2013. A complete presentation will be posted at a later date.

Jack is a Maryland high school student who, at age 15, created a novel paper sensor that detects pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer in 5 minutes and costs as little as 3 cents. He conducted his research at Johns Hopkins University and is the winner of the Gordon E. Moore award at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, as well as the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award.

He is the youngest speaker at the Royal Society of Medicine and has been featured on 60 Minutes, World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, NPR Marketplace, Popular Science and Wired, as well as documentaries including "You Don't know Jack" by Morgan Spurlock. Jack is currently working with a team of teens (Gen Z) on the Qualcomm Foundation Tricorder X Prize.

Look at how excited he was when they announced it, lol.
Not even my 6 year old can scream that high.

That is pretty awesome.
Imagine the judges know a few people suffering from cancer and were very excited to award him that prize.

Imagine of couple of million of curious dedicated not spoiled by dogma's, education, the system, alike out of the box thinking kids with a budget throwing their enthusiasm at the bigger life problems, we would be doing pretty awesome in about three years.

That kid has already accomplished more at age 15 then any one of us here combined, imagine the possibilities if we throw kids like him at the water, energy and food and shelter and transportation issues, mankind's future would be golden in a heartbeat, that fast.

Hi, if I recall this lad has already turned his attention energy.
I'm sure I saw a Ted video of him explaining in simple terms his 'small safe' nuke fuel reactor research.

Regards, Brenie.

and so it begins ... our step into space/future technology research at a grass root level ... this kid will inspire other kids , and domino effect ensues ... he has discovered by default , that knowledge is controlled by the few , depending on your family tree , bank account, and other factors , what you know and research is selective ... the reality is there is no-ledge ... thats what the ptb keep secret ... ideas make the impossible possible ... it shows that for 60 years science has been lazy and controlled ... a 15 yr old kid just out worked 60 years of scientist ... this story is epic ...

In that talk he gave I noticed something that reminded me of the stories I learned as a child about Thomas Edison. It took 10,000 wrong tries before he did something right and invented the light bulb. This kid has the same willingness to keep doing it wrong over and over - until he finds the right way. 4000 wrong proteins to find the one that worked.
