Jake Andraka: "I Was Screaming Round The Lab..."

In June, we introduced you to 16 year-old Jack Andraka, the gay teenager who invented an award-winning, affordable test that detects pancreatic cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. On this week’s 60 Minutes, Morley Safer sat down with Andraka to talk about his test and what it’s like to be one of the most influential teenagers on the planet...

Although the 60 Minutes piece never addressed Andraka’s sexuality, the teenage whiz has not shied away from discussing it elsewhere. Four months ago, when an interviewer from the London Evening Standard asked whether he was into girls and drinking, Andraka replied, “I’m gay, so no. And I wouldn’t know where to find alcohol."

Queerty.

Wonderful.
