Jack Andraka at Gay’s the Word

Teenage scientist Jack Andraka, author of Breakthrough, will be talking at Gay's the Word bookshop on 24 May.

Jack Andraka is a multi-award-winning teen innovator and scientist who overcame the skepticism of the academic world, depression and homophobic bullying to invent, at the age of 15, an early-detection test for pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancers. It has the potential to be over four hundred times more effective than the medical standard and it costs only 5p per use.

The event is free but please RSVP by emailing sales[at]gaystheword.co.uk.
