</span> <br>Jack used free online articles “religiously” in creating his pancreatic diagnostic that is 26,667 times cheaper, 168 times faster, and 400 times more sensitive than the current test.  In discussing his discovery, Jack points to pay-walls for journal articles as a central barrier preventing others from making similar breakthroughs.<br>
 <br>Jack is a perfect example of the increased innovation that arises from unexpected places when anyone with curiosity, determination, and an Internet connection has Open Access to the research literature. <br><span class="HOEnZb"></span></div>
