Program Title: Endeavours - A cure for Pancreatic Cancer
Description: Jack Andraka is a 15-year old highschool student from Crownsville, MD. After losing a close family friend to Pancreatic cancer, he decided to do something. After receiving 199 rejection letters, he got a vote of confidence from Dr. Anirban Maitra of Johns Hopkins University. Using his lab space, Jack perfected his dipstick model of early detection and went on to win $75 000 Gordon E. Moore Prize at the Intel Science Fair. Andraka's test is more than %90 accurate and much faster and cheaper than any current pancreatic cancer test.
Karisssa Barry is a dancer and choreographer who is co-curator, along with Julie-Ann Saroyan of Dances for A Small Stage 28, which has a theme of love.
Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches) & Binki Shapiro (Little Joy), come together in this musical duo of indie folk-pop experimental joy. Their self-titled debut album was released January 29th
