The Test For Jack Andraka

Here is a phenomenal video....



Except, it is not about science.  I wish it were true.

1. If it is a valid test, show us how.

2.  If it is a valid test, is it reliable?  Let 10,000 others try and see if it is reliable.

If it is not valid and reliable, then it is not science.  Says Jack:

The teen wants to mass market his invention so that it's available to everyone. He's already in talks with major corporations to make sure it hits shelves as soon as possible.
"I’ve gotten these Facebook messages asking, 'Can I have the test?'" Andraka tells Smithsonianmagazine. "I am heartbroken to say no."

Well, if you want it out and available to everyone, then open source it now.  If you are holding back so you can profit on your invention, then you've already sold out to Pfizer, et al.

How did you shift from small. creative to "major corporation?"  Open source it and it will be at most weeks before it is everywhere.

I can't find anything that demonstrates we have science here.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

Andraka has filed provisional patent applications at the patent office - but there are two co-inventors listed as well: Anirban Maitra and Venugopal Chenna-two research scientists apparently. So he is not the sole inventor of this invention.
