This was an incredible story; hope for a cure to cancer! It's impressive to see Angela's self-motivation and determination in pursuing a huge challenge. Also, it's a great encouragement for women in science...Way to go!!

@remant: I see what you're saying, but regardless of all the help, it was Angela who saw it through.

But I don't think you should give the impression that she came up with this all by herself. That's never the case with science fair winners. They always have a lot of help and it is in no way a level playing field. That is not to detract from her achievement, but you don't want to discourage the kid with fewer opportunities by considering her unique. And I'm sure that wasn't your intention.
