Jack Andraka, Gordon E. Moore Award Winner | Intel

[@thiruvetti]

This is the greatness of human brain. Some one who puts his nose into the book for years and works in hospitals for ages cannot come up with such breakthroughs. It sometimes takes out-of-the-box thinking and common sense to find a missing element which many might have overlooked or never cared for, and we have a great idea. Each person sees a problem in a different way and a few get an instant answer to it just like that! Wonderful boy genius. Hope he doesnt listen to Justin Beiber songs :-)

[@魏俐伶]

Yes!just like Einstein

[@DarthAzureKite]

I'm 23 years old, and after seeing this, I realize how much I've wasted my life....thanks to this kid I'm likely to make up for lost time when I retire, God Bless you boy!

[@hannahchodel7531]

[@MORENADECA]

Congrats Jack, you are going to make such a huge difference in so many lives, I wish you the best, and continue your research.

[@shishilala]

What an utterly brilliant young man & delightfully modest. Jack Andraka, I'm sure we will be hearing your name often in the future. Well done!

[@koza560]

you are the man Jack.do not miss the enthusiasm over the years.maybe one day one your invention will help me recover.impresses me is not only that invented what you thought getting bored in class.warm greetings from Polish.

[@DebbieZoppina]

What a great discovery, Jack. This is your cousin on the Andraka side. My mom and Ray are cousins. I am so proud of you and your work. You are a very smart young man. Debbie

[@nickhansbauer]

Really proud of this kid! What an amazing medical breakthrough!

[@ddjohnson99]

I know this kid. Me, my brother, and my friend created a Facebook page called Accident Andraka. He's okay with it. But this kid is Nobel Peace Prize material. Congrats jack. You deserved it

[@FinnishPanther]

Good job Jack! Truly amazing work. Your invention will save tens of thousands of lives around the world in the future.

[@MsShanarun]

You go Jack!! Bless you! You explained your process very well in a way that I could understand.

[@bom2c512]

You are absolutely a genius and i believe your future is terrific bright.God will protect you in your life's journey....you are saving thousands of peoples lives.You are a blessing star.Congratulations.All my love

[@cressentfresh]

This kid is amazing! I cannot wait to see what other things he will accomplish in his future. Nicely done Jack :)

[@Relaxe]

Wow, impressive, I'm glad that in this world we still have some incredible minds popping up every now and then.

[@BohemianWays]

You're an asset to our future, and the fact that you're not sitting around on facebook, or twitter wasting your life away you will become very successful. Don't be dissappointed if your idea is never used or bought by a larger company for money you will never receive. Just know that you did a very good thing here, and keep the science and your spirit going. Many people appreciate what you are doing. God bless you ♥

[@zackdelarocha8]

Thanks for your contribution to humanity. You've done more than most of us will in our life times.

[@spiritandsoulareone]

Outstanding, Jack! Thank you for your efforts!

[@lakeseminole]

You are an amazing young man and will be able to help millions of people in the future. think of what you have accomplished!!!!

[@Pokarot]

Fantastic work! Especially for a cancer that's pretty much terminal for anyone it's detected in currently.

[@OrinSorinson]

Hey Jack, really great stuff you're doing! Although you said you'll be ok with not winning,I hope you're happy with the award; I hope to hear great news about your research and it's application.

[@galexandru]

Well done! This is how future researchers are born, through curiosity and ambition. And because his thinking was not yet boxed in and focused on achieving imposed goals, he could be free in finding a new method.

[@prrkele]

I guess this talented young man has to aim higher next time, like the Nobel prize. Maximum ammount of respect to mr Andraka.

[@destiny2343]

my mom died last year.. she lived 5 yrs with pancreatic cancer.. this kid is amzing! he is so so smart. and I hope just maybe he will help come up with a helpful cure for pancreatic cancer. r.i.p michele.. my beloved mom a fighter for 5 yrs. died the day after steve jobs at 53.

[@dubm0]

This is amazing. The world needs more people like Jack Andraka.

[@sandyshore1849]

My brother will likely die from pancreatic cancer in a matter of days. While it's too late for him, I so value your monumental contribution to humankind.

[@geoffengel]

wow, really amazing....now let's see how this can be put into practical use. congrats!

[@horsecrazygirl1310]

Thats my cousin :) I'm pretty proud

[@JustOneMoreChild]

Excellent! I wonder how much he's considered using similar mechanisms to test for other cancers and diseases; hopefully there'll be even more innovations soon!

[@2Brian]

Jack Andraka is a genius! There is hope for the people of Earth.

[@AlisonNeri83]

Well done. Congratulations! I look forward to see what you will do with your life. I think you're going to have a great ride. Awesome stuff.

[@kittenjarv]

You deserve more that what you won! Thank you and Thank you to your parents!

[@bbyd0ll1]

That's AMAZING. What a great human being.

[@AnaKosta]

Thank you, Mr. Andraka, for your invaluable work. At last someone has discovered a reliable technique to detect the treacherous and killer pancreatic cancer. May the gods protect you forever.

[@beeanca13]

congratulations to this guy. he's amazing

[@greatestone00]

If you ever think you can't do or be what you want because someone else tells you you can't, I'm here to tell you you can. So go out and live the life you've imagined.

[@MooMooManist]

Congrats Jack! Keep up the good work and don't lose your focus.

[@hayesism]

Thanks for probably saving my life some day.

[@VirtualWorkspace]

Yes the 15 year old kid who is detecting pancreatic cancer earlier than any other detection method is amazing me with his "terminology". I think you're looking for the word vocabulary and I wouldn't care if he couldn't put a sentence together this is amazing!

[@villee14]

Dr. Phil is nothing compared to this. + He isn't solving physical problems, he is a ''psychologist''. And this guy deserves a nobel prize.

[@bondeXposte69]

15 years old and yet a brilliant mind

[@pedrorivas2410]

such discoveries are what make humanity progress, more than any speech, more than any religion. That kid may be made billionaire but who cares, and he deserves billions more, thanks for saving so many lives.

[@angcientrock]

If only more people would apply themselves in such a way. Our modern world and solutions are products of centuries of hard, genius work. I believe our only hope is in furthering our understanding of the universe, and developing technology. There is a symbiotic relationship between technology and science. I don't think it's coincidence. Understanding is essential in creating technology, and technology is essential in furthering our understanding (like with the LHC). It's also all very amazing!

[@noonienotjune]

wow! congratulations and thank you for this contribution to medical science that you have done...warmest wishes for your wonderful future..

[@uppedubke3]

I am so happy for you..! congratulations with this awsome win!

[@loisnason9018]

I didn't understand 90% of what he was talking about, but the fact that he LOVES nanotubes is AMAZING! Power on young man!

[@TomKaren94]

Dr. Phil never did anything like this. The kid is the next Jonas Salk... saving tens of thousands of lives every year. If he lives to a normal life span of 80, and 75% of the deaths (about 40,000) from pancreatic cancer each year are avoided, he will have saved TWO MILLION lives in his lifetime.

[@ArmisVideo]

I notice that many science fair winners, on all levels, all countries, and at all ages have a common joy for strategy board games, be it Armis, Chess, Checkers, Risk, Stratego, or other forms

[@arthurg8]

We need more of his kind.

[@karatelunchbox]

This kid restored my faith in American youth.

[@yowzephyr]

What does one call that voice intonation of his? Valley girl? But Jack is only 15, and obviously he's a genius, and so of course he must be forgiven for that particular foible. Some mentor will now certainly come along and help him out of that way of speaking. Or really Jack will probably now find his own way out of it. The main thing is Jack Andraka is going to save us all! Long live Jack Andraka!

[@czwilene]

My suggestion is to @channelintel add tags for the various cancers this can help detect this isn't getting to the community that needs to know about it fast enough! Share the information with PanCan and Lustgarten Foundation, those working to bring information to the communities this directly affects.

[@jakethomas3464]

Nobel Prize? Aren't they reserved for truly original ideas? ISEF encourages university-based work. In fact it prohibits participants from acknowledging outside help! The top two prizes in Medicine & Health went to students from John's Hopkins university, same lab, same advisor!!! Kudos to Jack for presenting complex research with passion and confidence at 15. He has to do original, independent work to make true impact on science!

[@SadCuteDreamer]

Love you! Congratulations and thank you!

[@lokkarggg]

it shows how a positive mind set can change the world! Don't let old minded doctors and phds tell you its impossible. Human limit is set with every new born child

[@teff7]

What an amazing kid.

[@Krista823]

Fantastic!!! Well done!

[@azureshade2958]

not a cure for cancer, but an early detection system that's affordable and will be easy to obtain. this type of cancer is hard to diagnose in the early stages. Usually people are diagnosed only after it's spread to other places/organs in the body. (which is why it has such a high death rate) Having a way to detect it when the cancer is still contained in a small area will help save countless lives though. this young man is freakin brilliant. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next

[@MotoJaxDS]

You're an amazing human being.

[@Omnis2]

Where does he get the resources to perform his research? Does he have lab access somewhere?

[@DaCoolidge]

I tried to show this video to my 14 year-old nephew (you know, to show him that you're never too young to do great things), but he was too busy playing Modern Warfare 3 :/ Nonetheless, GREAT WORK JACK!

[@Andyg2g]

"Even if I don't win a prize." *later that week he totally owns the fair*....If only I was him.

[@toddskisyd]

you got a prize you won !! well done mate

[@Ericandroy]

Simply brilliant!

[@deutschungarischami]

My R E S P E C T and congratulations to such a invention! 15 years old! How amazing! Everybody which has just some "dumb" comments about him.......do something creative before you judge other people which do great things and come by yourselves with something useful up! Otherwise just zip it!

[@littlewierd0]

I just want to expres how amazed i am.

[@angldrps]

prayers for your brother.

[@kenf1ott]

thank you jack

[@Nightbird87]

What an awesome kid!

[@supertc1111]

Most impressive kid ever. EVER.

[@thinksimon]

Skeptic in me says "sounds too good to be true", though I wholeheartedly hope it is...

[@CassAnayadotcom]

This kid is awesome!

[@JamieDPS]

Sometimes early detection is the cure.

[@魏俐伶]

Absolutely right!!!

[@aaron.0303]

With these high school science contests, even the Intel STS and ISEF, I often wonder how much of the work (or even the discovery/invention itself) was the kid's and how much was from adults. In most cases I get the impression it was mostly from adults. But in his case, he says the idea came to him in biology class, and I believe him.

[@Dernjo1]

he will one day cure all cancer - genius

[@majormorkiss]

Wow this is amazing

[@graykitty92]

His parents must be so proud of him! =) I KNOW I AM!!

[@HiAdrian]

Greatness right there.

[@gulcandemir7290]

I think you're great! Go Jack :)

[@hnnnnnghify]

After what he's done he can talk any friggin' way he wants to.

[@Kintepro]

Wow, good job.

[@DSIGUAL_]

FELICIDADES JACK. POR HACER UN MUNDO MEJOR.

[@villee14]

:D It was nice to ''argue'' with you.

[@ZanekokX]

That is only why these tests are not up yet. You think they dont have it? They do for a long time, but they have low income. It is same with water based engine or Nicolla Tesla's "free energy" . People wouldn't get so much money so they just stopped it from coming out.

[@goats8rus]

CONGRATS, YOU ARE AMAZING, :), now go and save the world!

[@ForthaBois]

well jeez, in my science fair i grew some mold and called it a day.

[@stephenmcdonaldrocks]

well done dude.

[@dukenthaylor]

REALLY? Back in the day, all his father (Jeff Spicoli) cared about in school was "Learnin' about Cuba" and "havin' some food!" Times, it would seem, they ARE a' changin'! XD

[@v4vendetta37]

well arent you rude he's made such a remarkable discovery and he's only 15 lol i'd like to see you try

[@loligci]

Eres el salvador del siglo 21,ojala ayudes a salvar muchas v congratulations

[@mrmarka360]

Damn kid. You smart.

[@CutlerBeckett90]

Dr. Randy Pausch would be proud of you...

[@goober11]

Baller.

[@bsilano]

Genius!

[@ChimeraProd]

Can someone please explain to me how these nano tubes would actually be used? I mean how does this get put to use to actually test someone for these specific cancers? Is it a simple blood analyzer ? So just take some blood and use this?

[@Freshboyeey]

all i understood was " cancer, cancer, cancer" but goodjob!

[@Scaven7]

big boss champion thank you young lord!

[@TheVjd6]

This kid is a boss

[@shakenama]

"test is 168 times faster, over 26,000 times less expensive, and over 400 times more sensitive" So umm.. we like have the best minds in the world working on stuff like this and a 15 year old freshman come up with this?... OMFG And to think I was giving up on our future generations. The kids a genius!
