"Andraka wrote up an experimental protocol and e-mailed it to 200 researchers. Only Maitra responded. “It was a very unusual e-mail,” he remembers. “I often don’t get e-mails like this from postdoctoral fellows, let alone high-school freshmen.” He decided to invite Andraka to his lab. To oversee the project, he appointed a gentle postdoctoral chemist, who took the baby-sitting assignment in stride. They expected to see Andraka for perhaps a few weeks over the summer."

16-year-old student, Marshall Zhang, finds possible cure for cystic fibrosis. Marshall apparently had a theory that combining multiple drugs could be more effective than treating cystic fibrosis with just one. Marshall used computational methods to simulate the effects of therapeutic drugs:
"The cells treated with the two drugs were functioning as if they were the cells of healthy individuals," says Zhang. "The thrill of knowing that I was on the forefront of current knowledge was absolutely the best thing about my experience ... getting a taste of real research has definitely driven me towards pursuing science in the future.
CRISPR movie by NOVA
Scientific News
NOVA's recent CRISPR movie is excellent. The film features many of the field's top researchers and thought leaders. The illustrations are outstanding. Watching "Human Nature," is a pleasure and it is useful to scientists and non-scientists. The movie contemplates the history and powerful future of CRISPR — and the ethical concerns that go with it.
