Challenge #02640-G083: Why is it So?
(Not related to the other “Why” but got me thinking)
A young child begins the “Why Game” with another species. The parent offers them an out but they politely decline. Curiosity is an enviable trait and they will continue to answer for as long as the child asks…
…A small crowd of interested and amused people has begun to form, with some stepping in to field questions from their own specialties. A few humans encourage their children to join in as the first child starts to get fussy (it is past their nap time by now).
The original Answerer insists on remaining even as others offer to take their place and some of the humans begin to quietly place bets. Win, lose, or draw they have earned the humans respect and, unknowingly, a reputation for being a great babysitter. – Silverrey
Patience is a virtue, catch it if you can. Seldom seen in women, and never seen in man. – ancient Terran saying.
Human parentals seemingly need an infinite supply of patience, especially when their young start asking questions about the world around them.
“Why is space black?” asked the little Human as parent and child waited for a connection shuttle. They were peering out a porthole apparently watching for the shuttle’s approach. They were also too young to employ a brain-to-mouth bypass.

Green, who lost her parents young, was raised by her aunt and uncle. While still at school, her aunt died from cancer, and three months later her uncle was diagnosed with cancer, too. Green went on to earn her degree in physics at Alabama A&M University, being crowned Homecoming Queen while she was at it, before going on full scholarship to University of Alabama in Birmingham to earn her Masters and Ph.D. There Green would become the first to work out how to deliver nanoparticles into cancer cells exclusively, so that a laser could be used to remove them, and then successfully carry out her treatment on living animals.
her studies thus far are only on head and neck cancers, but her theory is this treatment platform would work on all types of cancers. But needs $$$$ to keep doing research.
It seems the issue is how to target the cancer cells and in her head and neck cancer tests, she had success in mice by utilizing fda approved immunotherepy antibodies to deliver nano particles to mark the tumor. Then she could proceed to blast the shit out of cancer with fuckin lasers.
she was ready or prepared when opportunity arose
I’m so proud of her. I wish more young black women would go into science.

Yes!!!!! If she really does cure cancer, watch her name & face disappear behind some white man.
