March is WOMENS HISTORY MONTH !!🚺 In recognition of the achievements of amazing women all over the world, we wanted to highlight the achievements of Brittany Wenger.

After her cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer, Brittany saw firsthand how the disease affects women and wanted to help. In 2012, the then-17-year-old submitted her "artificial brain" technology—which assesses tissue samples for breast cancer—to the Google Science Fair and took home the first place prize of $50,000. Her app called Cloud4Cancer uses a type of computer program called neural networks that can identify complex data patterns and make breast cancer detection analyses with 99% accuracy. She is finishing her studies at Duke and hopes to continue working to help eradicate breast cancer. Go Brittany!!!!

Reach out to some amazing women in your life or community today and let her know how much they are appreciated.
