Inspired by her baby brother’s ailing health and her amazing 6th grade science teacher, Florida’s Brittany Wenger wowed the Google Science Fair‘s panel of judges with her science project: a computer program to help doctors diagnose breast cancer in a less invasive way. The prize includes $50,000, a trip to the Galapagos Islands, and one year of mentoring and internship opportunities. And, of course, heartfelt gratitude from the world-wide breast cancer community!
