At just 13 years old, Camarria Williams made an astonishing discovery while analyzing goose droppings for a school project—she isolated a rare bacterium called Pseudomonas idahoensis that produces orfamide N, a molecule that kills certain cancer cells in lab tests.

Orfamide N isn’t a cure, but researchers say it shows promise against skin and ovarian cancer—marking a surprising leap in cancer research sparked not in a lab, but by a middle schooler with curiosity and courage.

This isn’t just a feel-good story—it’s a glimpse into the future of biotech innovation, where age doesn’t limit impact. Science doesn’t always begin in a lab coat—it sometimes starts with a goose and a microscope.
