US student, 14, wins award for developing soap to treat skin cancer
Heman Bekele was inspired by Ethiopian workers laboring under the sun, and wanted to help ‘as many people as possible’
A middle-school teen has been named “America’s top young scientist” after developing a bar of soap that could be useful in the treatment of melanoma, a skin cancer that is diagnosed in about 100,000 people in the US each year and kills approximately 8,000.
Lets get 1 thing straight, no he most likely didnt invent this, a team at 3M did. You always see these stories about rich kids and how they did this amazing thing while at their internship where their dad is the lab manager/owner when in reality these companies just wanted a poster child who was just some intern that is still learning about what titration means. I would bet that the extent of this kids biochemistry knowledge is that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
Also almost certainly doesn't work as the headline describes.
"Teenagers cures cancer" is shameless click bait.
Yeah "wins award" is also ridiculous, if that was true this kid would deserve the nobel prize
Where do you get your certainty? Do you have absolutely anything to back this up?
Don't get me wrong, the story might be shit, but, that doesn't make your opinion smell less.
I stayed at a holiday inn last night thats how I know. Do you really need proof that a 12 year old in middle school figured something out that people with PhDs have not done?
If this kid did anything other than throw shit at the wall then ill deliver a video of me eating my entire stack of textbooks from college.
Do you have any specific examples of what you're claiming?
anything that credits a single person for any modern development
Every single discovery or development that has ever occurred
