... that's, and I quote, 

 

 

  • 168 times faster
  • 26,000 times less expensive, and
  • 400 times more sensitive than the current standard of detection

Yuuup, they're gonna put a hit on the kid and sweep this under the rug.

 

Here's a link to an article.

That goes to show things can also be done far cheaper than phamaceutical (can't spell) companries make out, since all the company cares about is money. If more time was put in it they could make things so much easier for everyone.

 

Amazing achievement .

Which again, is sad because those companies will do everything in their power to keep this from getting distributed to the masses, just like gas companies keep more efficient cars off the market.

In all seriousness, this kid deserves a fucking medal.

 

Too bad people will be after him and his test to steal it from him.

You do realize that pharmaceutical companies also have to spend millions of dollar on testing, developing, and research before it MIGHT find something that works. Not to mention federal mandates, salaries, cost of operation, etc, etc? Oh no! A company wants to make money off their hard  work? HOW TERRIBLE! D:<

You do realize that gas-efficient cars aren't being bought due to the price tag. Its very expensive to buy one, and maintain. With these costs, it takes a while for the car to pay for itself via the pump. While its better for the environment for these cars, its not so easy to implement due to the affordability. Yeah, I wish more EE cars were on the road...but they aren't. Sucks.
