你近距离接触过并很熟悉多少中学及以上的学生，近距离接触过并很熟悉智商（WISC-IV or WISC- V）145以上的孩子（比如DYS们），近距离接触过并很熟悉全美学科竞赛拿冠军/亚军/前几名的学生甚至国际奥赛拿牌的学生。想象力有点过丰富了吧。另外这些成果好像不是她带一个团队做出来的，和leadership关系似乎不大
垃圾科学家：从小事里挖掘大事
RAO对科学的热爱始于10岁那年，当时她发现了碳纳米管传感器技术——这种技术利用分子来探测水中的化学物质。从此，她对科学的热爱便一发不可收拾。
这个设备可以连接到任何智能手机上，将传感器浸入水中，便可分析其化学反应，检测结果可发送至手机上。
接收检测结果的App也是由RAO开发的，读取数据大概需要等待10秒钟，之后App上会显示“安全”、“轻微污染”或“危急”的状态。这一设备比目前使用的任何其他技术都能更快地探测水体中的铅含量，并且便于携带和使用。
凭借该发明，RAO登上福布斯30位30岁以下精英榜单，甚至赢得了美国顶尖青年科学家（America's Top Young Scientist）的荣誉。
不仅自己发明，RAO还给全世界各地的孩子组织”创新工作坊“，教他们如何用“观察，头脑风暴，研究，构建和交流” 的过程来创新。她跟农村的学校、女孩科技组织、国际青年科技协会、伦敦皇家工程学院合作来辅导孩子。
目前RAO在研究一种可以来检测水污染的容易方法，她希望这种方法可以便宜到欠发达国家可以使用。她已经实现了自己带领30,000个孩子的目标，她的使命是希望能够建立一个国际性的孩子创新社区。
RAO的兴趣很广泛， 比如在她了解到很多病人因为阿片类药物上瘾，而医生缺乏可靠的方式判断病人是否上瘾，就发明了一种易于使用，便携式且高效的设备，称为Epione，医生可以用来在早期判断患者是否成瘾。
RAO最近的发明是一款名为“Kindly”的应用软件和网络工具，它运用人工智能探测网络霸凌的早期迹象。对于保护青少年不受网络暴力侵害，有着显著效果。
关于她的成就，RAO这么评论道：“我认为现在最重要的是，我们只需要找到一件事， 我们热衷于和解决它，即使是一件小事，比如我想找到一个简单的方法来捡垃圾。大事小事都在改变世界，不需要觉得有压力要想出大事做。”

原来接触的都是幼儿园的孩子，凭想象就能知道大孩子和科研工作是什么样的，确实没法讨论
读帖太不仔细了
你真信这玩意儿是10岁小孩能做出来的吗？
要不怎么说总有井底之蛙呢，第一我说了那1000以上的孩子，是六岁以下的。跟你说的年龄无关。抓什么都要从小开始，如果你上youtube，你会看到几乎你想知道所有的知识点都有for kids的版本，而你搜索中文的时候基本都是面对成年人或者大一点的。 第二我的职业就是10年幼儿园班级管理，近5年美国大型高端幼儿园管理。你说我有没有近距离接触过那么多孩子呢……
🛋️ 沙发板凳
太牛了
印度常见的姓。已经在板上讨论了一轮了。
100%
我们有同事白人也这个姓，没见到他们家有印度人的影子
父母纳米千老？
是的，就算没有这些成就，就看她在ted台上的讲话，都是很厉害的小孩了，远超出12岁的水平了。
基因肯定也不错
project based learning是以后教育的大势所趋
名校远没有problem solving重要
因为人是要脸的，不能为了孩子出名脸都不要了
我没说他家不要脸啊， 不过投入资源和完全帮着做是两回事吧？你偷换概念了。这项目一看就不是孩子能完成的。
这个年纪能独立做出这种项目，也只能骗下楼上那种傻子
最后结果就是大家都做PPT，没人认认真真做技术。
我不相信那个探头是她自己能做的。10岁娃都能做出来的话，那么多博士千老都可以自杀了。
父母后面有推。这种类似的事情，刚开始出现的时候，把广大看众哄得一愣一愣的。多出几次，就不知道谁才是那只真正的猴。
总有些“聪明人”，特别是“聪明的父母”搞这种事情。
这不是光聪明能做到的，那carbon nanotube sensor 是phd 课题，需要 nanofabrication lab clean room 做的，光每项仪器的training 都要很久
真的觉得这种应该深挖。是假的就让她/他曝光。不然还会有更多的这种事。第一代烙印的底线是。。 美国也需要方舟子啊。
就会有些脑子不好的五毛觉得你是在酸
Rao是印度一个挺大 的姓。
绝对不会、会先被华人打翻在地，再淬上一口口水。
烙印的姓 挺常见的
希望多挖挖，如果是假的支持曝光，如果是真得就承認烙印也有小天才。
。。。。这么见不得别人好么
别的我不懂，但让10岁孩子做碳纳米传感器就是虐娃好吗？想当年我们都是要去有各种chemical hazard 的clean room做的，一个博士几年做出来的课题，10岁的孩子还碳纳米管，纳米管她肉眼看得到吗？lol
我觉得哪个国家都一样，国内那些少年班的研究成果也都是家长做的。
但是Times把她拿出来宣传非常不好。
因为诺奖科学奖靠吹没用。
看到是印度裔，可信度就打了一半折。
这种神仙事迹还不能查证一下了？不然就是酸？ 之前发明验血那个去哪了？
这都学术界研究烂了的东西，不过还有各种技术问题，还她发现了？没有真的接触到实物她又怎么发现？读别人的博士论文，学术界发表的文章？就算这样能算她发现？这是把那些研究类似课题好几年的博士放在哪里？

Lead in drinking water is currently regulated in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a maximum contamination level (MCL) of 15 ppb and the World Health Organization (WHO) has a MCL of 10 ppb of lead. Researches have identified high levels of lead in drinking water samples across the globe and the neurological development of young children is of great concern. A need for a rapid, sensitive, selective, reproducible, and affordable sensor for the trace detection of lead in true drinking water samples is needed. The detection of Pb2+ was performed using an inkjet printed multi-walled carbon nanotube (IJP-MW-CNT) electrode employing Osteryoung square wave stripping voltammetry (OSWV) as the detection method. The MW-CNT ink was prepared in water using bile salts (BS) as a surfactant, which were washed out extensively with DI water before using the printed MW-CNTs as electrodes. The IJP-MW-CNT electrode was used as the working electrode with a platinum wire and glass capillary Ag/AgCl as auxiliary and reference electrode, respectively. The electrodes performance was optimized in 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH = 4.3) and had a linear range of 5 – 50 ppb (R2= 0.98235) a sensitivity of 20.15 nA/ppb and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.632 ppb for Pb2+. The analytical applicability of electrode was tested in a real drinking water sample (i.e.) Cincinnati tap water with a linear range of 15 – 70 ppb (R2 = 0.98752) a sensitivity of 2.654 nA/ppb and a LOD of 1.269 ppb for Pb2+. The IJP-MW-CNT electrode''''s results are comparable between different electrodes, and reproducible using the same electrode multiple times. The electrode can be easily and quickly be fabricated without modifications or in-situ additives needed, which makes up-scale production a feasible option. The sensor has been shown to perform well in an environmental sample (Cincinnati tap water) without any sample preparation or changes.The IJP-MW-CNT electrode can be implemented for the affordable and rapid detection of lead on-site in true water samples.

哈哈哈哈哈哈
如果不是她做的，那么她有的就不是自信，而是撒谎的本事了。如果这么小就能面不改色的撒大谎，以后只能是大混蛋。
同意
她发现的意思是她找到了看到了，不是她发明的，比如世界上有啥技术早就存在了，我不是创造这个技术的但是我发现了它并把它用在一些应用上。我都说了 碳纳米管传感器几毛钱就能买到，淘宝也有
能用来做传感器的有纯度要求的碳纳米管我给你几毛钱买买看
我想起来了硅谷那个黑色套头衫女娃。
我也是想起了她
1. 印度第二代娃大部分家教非常好，非常努力拼搏 2. 家庭环境宽松有更多的发挥，大脑不限制想象力 3. 他们好像比中国人乐观，孩子们更开心，不受限，曾经在山谷里河水中看到老印的孩子在近零下的水里嬉戏（本来是kayak不小心掉下去干脆玩开了）父母并没有阻止 4.父母花非常多的有品质的时间陪伴在孩子身上 5. 他们孩子动手能力非常强，很多有条件全部都是蒙校。家长在教育，选学区上非常拼
那些说是家长做出来的，别让智力限制了你的想象力，父母也许帮了，但孩子本身怎样更重要！ 近距离接触过并很熟悉（6岁以下）一千以上的孩子，能在班上做leader的中国孩子几乎是0，老印的孩子还是有几个。
那些怀疑怎么把娃带成这样并且也想把娃往科学方向带的，可以少上点钢琴美术有的没的，夏令营多了解一下...
你近距离接触过并很熟悉多少中学及以上的学生，近距离接触过并很熟悉智商（WISC-IV or WISC- V）145以上的孩子（比如DYS们），近距离接触过并很熟悉全美学科竞赛拿冠军/亚军/前几名的学生甚至国际奥赛拿牌的学生。想象力有点过丰富了吧。另外这些成果好像不是她带一个团队做出来的，和leadership关系似乎不大
那是因为你没有做过科研。这些东西也就只会哄哄你这样的。
