Yes, there were a few misstatements in the article. Still, I'll give the kid a lot of credit for effort, creativity, and learning experience. These are the kind of students I try to encourage to consider science as a career, when I talk to them at science fairs and the like. Trouble is, when they get older and see how some very capable and talented people trained in the hard sciences end up on the economic ladder, its hard to convince them not to switch to business programs or pre-law.
