Kickass Kid of the Day: A Maryland-based scientist has developed an incredibly accurate mechanism for detecting pancreatic cancer, which is faster than current methods, as well as 100 times more sensitive and 28 times cheaper. Oh, and the scientist is 15 years old.

For his discovery, high school freshman Jack Andraka just won the Gordon E. Moore Award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which comes with a $75,000 prize.

Andraka’s method uses single-walled carbon nanotubes — which he calls “the superheroes of material science” — to detect a pancreatic cancer marker in urine and blood samples. In a blind test, it had a 100% success rate.

“I did not expect for it to be this good,” he said, “I was blown away by how sensitive it was.”

Don’t become something just because someone else wants you to, or because it’s easy; you won’t be happy. You have to do what you really, really, really, really want to do even if it scares the shit out of you

Note: If it scares the shit out of you, you’ve probably found it.

Reading this made me tear up and I don’t know if it’s because I overthrought a sneeze or if it’s just the straight talk I need to hear. I look at the careeer trajectories of those I admire and Kristen Wiig’s always gave me comfort because she did some very real living before she got into comedy. I feel she’s a stronger comedian because of it and I hope the same for myself. Maybe one of the better ways to know what’s funny about life it to live it.
