What do her parents do?

[eat_veggies]

I know you're asking this to try to downplay her remarkable achievements. But her parent is a single mother [1] who's an insurance agent [2].

The whole affair seems to be politicized too much to not question the truthfulness of the claims presented as facts.

Also, pH-sensitive dyed wound dressings have been in development for at least a decade by now, at the Fraunhofer institute[1] in Germany.

Do you realise your comment sounds a lot like, 'she only got this far because she's a young black woman'?

[eat_veggies]

can you explain to me what it means to be politicized, and which claims you find questionable?

[neolog]

Really the question is how did she do that? If she had parents in the field (probably a common scenario), we don't need to know much more. If it's something else, then we can ask if those conditions can be generalized.

Her parent is a single mother, insurance agent.

How do you know the question is intended to downplay her remarkable achievements? I first interpreted the question along the lines of Mozart or Tiger Woods and didn't think about it uncharitably until you brought it up.

I took the question as "thats impressive for someone this young, are her parents in related fields so shes been exposed to this stuff or is it all self guided?"

[eat_veggies]

I hope that's the case! And if it is, then I apologize to cup

[alisonkisk]

Slandering other commenters like this is not acceptable behavior.

[arolihas]

Not a very charitable interpretation

[nickphx]

How could you possibly know that?
