With her invention of new Ebloa test, the girl from US has become the winner of the 2015 Google Science Fair, a yearly competition for creative teenagers who want to make a difference in the world. Hallisey ’ s method asks patients to put a sample of their saliva( 唾液 ) onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is infected with Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests can take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Hallisey ’ s method, by contrast, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Moreover, the test needn ’ t be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia used to produce the testing cards. Hallisey started working on the test one year ago when she saw Ebloa spreading across African countries.
