    Take that, vinegar and baking soda volcanoes.

    Seriously though, I wouldn't necesssarily bet money on him just yet, but I do think it's worth giving a looksee. I'm glad a professor at the University of Toronto is actually letting him continue his work. From my understanding, Cystic Fibrosis isn't a pleasant thing to live with, and there's no cure and not much if any treatment available.

    Wow...taking AP Biology as a sophomore. That's pretty amazing. Though it might prove to be nothing, I sure hope it does.

    Grade 11 in Canada is, I believe, the Junior year in the US. But still. It's pretty pooping impressive.

    This is really good.

    Hopefully it'll lead to, if not be, a big help for people with Cystic Fibrosis.

    If this works, then amazing. I'm actually a carrier for cystic fibrosis, so this could possibly effect potential children I may have.

    Wow, pretty impressive for a junior!

    I really hope that this turns out to be the cure for Cystic Fibrosis, because it doesn't sound pleasant to live with.
