Amy Chyao, the 16-year-old from Richardson who won the Intel international
science and engineering competition with her research on a cancer therapy,
really made an impression yesterday on President Barack Obama. Amy was one
of the select exhibitors at the White House Science Fair and eight hours
later, he was gushing about her to donors at a Democratic reception.
Obama's full remarks, just released by the White House, suggest that to him,
this wasn't a routine, quick-to-be-forgotten encounter of the sort that
fill a president's week:
The last person I spoke to [at the Science Fair] was a young woman, looked
like she was of Chinese heritage; lived in Dallas; 16 years old. When she
was a freshman in high school, she studied biology and became interested in
life sciences and became interested in cancer research. So she decided
during the summer to teach herself chemistry -- (laughter) -- taught herself
chemistry, and designed as a science project exploration of the development
of a new cancer drug, based on some experimental cancer drugs that are
currently being put together that involve injecting the drug and then it's
activated by light. And it allows a more localized treatment that isolates
the cancer cells -- kills the cancer cells but leaves the healthy cells
untouched.
And the problem is clinical trials and treatments have shown that it's okay
for skin cancer and other diseases where they're close to the surface, but
it's harder to penetrate. Bottom line is she decided she was going to design
a new drug that would work better for harder-to-reach cancers -- having
taught herself chemistry -- (laughter) -- at 16 years old.
She went on to win the international science competition. And now she and
her teacher, her high school science teacher, are being approached by
laboratories all across the country who want to collaborate with them in
thinking about this new potential breakthrough cancer drug.
So I'm talking to her, pretending like I understand everything that she's
saying. (Laughter.) And I'm thinking to myself, think about what this means.
You've got the portrait of Lincoln in the State Dining Room looking down
over us. You've got an African American President named Barack Obama. You've
got a young Chinese American girl, 16 years old, who is designing cancer
drugs, having taught herself chemistry in high school. That idea of America
is alive and well. But we have to nurture it, and we have to sustain it.
And for all the meanness of our political season and the yelling and
nonsense that we see day in and day out on television, that is something
that is worth remembering --

按字母顺序的时候占便宜阿。
电话本里面修水管、镶玻璃、拉电线的，公司名字都是A开头。
