In fact, this is one of the major complaints about the Andraka story — he has never published a peer-reviewed paper of his findings, despite being an advocate of open science and free information. Instead, he seems to be focused on exploiting his claims — taking more than $100,000 in prize money for his unpublished claims, working with Intel and other corporations to develop a commercial over-the-counter test based on his approach, and possibly even filing a patent for the invention. https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192090753 https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2014/01/03/the-jack-andraka-story-uncovering-the-hidden-contradictions-of-an-oa-paragon/]]> 2017-09-28 14:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192090753 While promising the project really was extremely preliminary and is by no means as sophisticated as some stories say it is,” Andraka writes me via email. “I realize that in retrospect that it was just a high school science fair project and it was a proof of concept experiment and initially I thought that it could get on the market in 1-2 years however I've learned so much over the course of this journey and realized that it will in reality take a lot longer than this.” A lot longer. https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192090866 2017-09-28 14:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192090866 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Andraka https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192091023

It is by published work that scientists are judged. I still think this was the right decision. In fact, when Andraka volunteered to share a draft of a paper that he does plan to submit to a scientific journal, my concerns deepened." https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192092928 2017-09-28 14:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192092928 he was at goalkeepers which is held to celebrate progress toward eliminating disease and poverty around the world, and inspire a new generation of advocates to work on behalf of these causes. https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192093024 2017-09-28 14:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192093024 Case in point: Jack Andraka, who was 15 years old when he identified a revolutionary tool in recognising pancreatic cancer, would never have made his discovery without access to online journals. Academic journals are often locked up by publishing companies who charge a bomb for access, despite the research usually being publicly funded. Andraka’s life saving discovery is a shining example of how freedom of education benefits everyone. The more people who have access to education, the higher the chance of humans finding solutions to our problems. And when it comes to cancer, these solutions are life or death.https://www.thecanary.co/uk/2016/07/29/jeremy-corbyn-destroys-one-biggest-myths-leadership-just-30-seconds-video/ https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192093573 2017-09-28 14:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192093573 Jack Attends Stanford College in California. https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192096285 2017-09-28 14:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/choy/o3wg6vpw6b0h/wish/192096285 Forbes also stated, "In one of the first stories about Andraka, Forbes Managing Editor Bruce Upbin asked: "Wait, Did This 15-Year-Old From Maryland Just Change Cancer Treatment?” Nineteen months later, I feel safe answering: No, he didn’t.
