I was always fascinated --
항상 매료되어 있었습니다.
어렸을 때 말이에요.
the world worked exactly how it did.
돌아가는지에 매료되어 있었습니다.
of mathematics and chemistry.
and as I kept going,
매진할 것입니다. 연구에 매진하던 중,
of science are interconnected.
관련이 있다는 사실을 깨달았습니다.
have little or no value.
거의 또는 아무런 가치가 없었습니다.
and my local science museum,
지역 과학박물관에서 영감을 받아,
these questions myself
스스로에게 던지고
하기로 결심했습니다.
of my garage or my bedroom.
침실이 됐든 간에 말이에요.
참가하기 시작했습니다.
that I so desperately wanted.
for a competition,
해부학을 공부하는 동안
of something called chronic wounds.
주제를 접하게 됩니다.
to me was a statistic
in the United States with chronic wounds
앓고 있는 미국인의 수가
with breast cancer,
앓고 있는 사람들의 수를 합친 것보다
and leukemia, combined.
about a 5K walk for chronic wounds,
5K 걷기 행사를 들어보지 못했을까요?
about a chronic wound in general?
한 번도 들어본 적이 없을까요?
those preliminary questions,
정확히 짚고 넘어가자면,
when someone gets a normal wound,
상처를 입을 때 근본적으로 발생합니다.
of preexisting condition,
경우를 제외하곤 말이지요.
were to be found
to treat chronic wounds.
5백억 달러가 사용되었습니다.
that about two percent of the population
일생의 어느 시점에서
at some point in their lifetime.
추정된다고 합니다.
inside a wound dressing
that the chronic wound would be at.
수분량을 측정할 수 있는
within the wound
어떨까 생각했습니다.
treat their wounds better.
더 잘 치료할 수 있도록 말이지요.
the healing process.
촉진하면서 말입니다.
out of her garage-turned-lab,
연구실에서 일하는 데는
I wasn't given a lot of money,
많은 지원금도 받지 못했으며,
a lot of criteria, as well.
충족해야만 했습니다.
readily interacting with the body,
상호 작용하기 때문에
저에게 있었기 때문에
and paying for it myself.
anywhere, for anyone.
있기를 원했기 때문입니다.
초안을 작성했습니다.
is the early schematics in my design,
and also one stacking variant.
제 초기 설계도입니다.
of different individual parts
서로 다른 개별 부품으로
is one possible arrangement.
바로 하나의 가능한 배열입니다.
stumbles along their work,
난관에 부딪히듯,
in my first generation of sensors.
몇 가지 문제점을 발견했습니다.
into a printcheck cartridge
the sensitivity of my sensors.
제어할 수 없다는 것이었습니다.
anything of that sort.
아무것도 할 수 없었습니다.
by some scouting on eBay and Amazon
구할 수 있는 주사기를 이용하여
required a lot more thought.
더 많이 필요했습니다.
사항을 고려했습니다.
within one unit square.
모든 영역을 차지하는 것입니다.
you can have different iterations
서로 다른 곡선의 다양한 반복이
to one unit square,
단위 넓이에 가까워지지만,
the thickness, the size,
and I could predict my results.
연구 결과도 예측이 가능했습니다.
from previous science fair awards.
in order to be read.
이를 연결해야 했습니다.
앱 스크린샷에서 볼 수 있듯,
by the app screenshots on the right.
can monitor the progress of their wound,
진행 상황을 모니터링 할 수 있으며,
over a wireless connection
or whoever needs it.
전송이 가능합니다.
was successful --
성공적이었습니다.
something to be refined.
재고해야 일이 존재합니다.
in the process of doing.
거치고 있는 단계입니다.
than the actual thing I designed
이 과정을 진행하는 동안의
taken on while doing this.
working in her garage
completely understand,
하고 있음에도 불구하고
and contribute to the field.
이 분야에 기여할 수 있었다는 것입니다.
to also do work like this
저와 같은 일을 시행할 수 있도록
very sure about it.
that you all take on today.
마음 속에 간직하셨으면 합니다.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Anushka Naiknaware - ScientistIn 2016, at age 13, Anushka Naiknaware was the youngest winner of the Google Science Fair, with her invention of a clever new bandage that tells caregivers when it needs to be changed.
Why you should listen
When Anushka Naiknaware was young, she would spend hours at the chemistry lab at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland and not leave until she had finished every experiment available. Her early interest was chemistry and mathematics, but she quickly learned that every branch of science is connected, including physics, biology and computer science. In fact, her winning Google Science Fair project loops together materials science, fractal math and biology.
Naiknaware has won many awards in notable science and math competitions. She was the youngest winner of the Google Science Fair in 2016, and she won the first-place Mathematics STEM Award at Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering Rising Stars), a premier competition run by the Society for Science and the Public. Naiknaware is inspired by Marie Curie, whose work contributed to major advances in modern medicine. Anushka admires her spirit and enthusiasm to continue her work in a time when women's contributions in science weren't appreciated.
