Bad blood by John Carreyrou ( Image source: Amazon)
I have developed a diagnostic device in my master degree research. What I did is a portable machine for prothrombin test. We had spent a year to figure out a way to detect signal from tiny amount of blood, and couldn’t be able to move the whole test into a tiny machine. It’s so complicated. That’s why when I heard the news of Theranos, I don’t believe it. It’s not I don’t believe it will come true, I just don’t think we can achieve what Elizabeth claimed at the moment.
Fake it until you make it?
