08 Nov 2024 – Harnessing Technology for Good: How Sawyer and Brett Thompson are Redefining Cancer Research |
|
|
|
When Brett Thompson was diagnosed with brain cancer, it was devastating news for his family. But out of this crisis emerged an extraordinary response from his then-12-year-old son, Sawyer Thompson, who used his love for technology to join the fight against cancer in an unexpected way. Today, their story is inspiring people worldwide to rethink how they, too, can contribute to scientific research, even without specialized knowledge or funds. |
