Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Announces 2023 Cancer Scholarship Winner

    LAFAYETTE, LA, July 11, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Every year, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers offers $2,500 in financial support to one student applying for its Cancer Scholarship. This scholarship celebrates and supports students pursuing a career in toxicology, public health, or a medicine-related industry.

This year, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers happily awards its financial support to Etoile Chelsea Theinkeu at the University of Southern California.

Ms. Theinkeu currently studies Human Biology with minors in Business and Public Health. She appreciates the multidimensional approach these fields allow her to take to the study and practice of medicine.

Ms. Theinkeu demonstrates the lessons this approach taught her in her scholarship essay, "Safeguarding Public Health: a Call for Stringent Regulation of Cancer-Causing Ingredients in Consumer Products." Per the scholarship's guidelines, she frames her essay as a letter to Senators Duckworth and Durbin, Illinois's political representatives.

This letter outlines Ms. Theinkeu's proposals addressing the gaps in the current regulations controlling the distribution of products with cancer-causing ingredients. She highlights insufficient testing of dangerous ingredients and demands that future policies emphasize the importance of evidence-based regulation and distribution.

Ms. Theinkeu also highlights how transparent labeling, collective research advocacy, and mandatory disclosure may all help transform the medical field into a more accessible and success-driven environment for cancer patients and their families.

Notably, Ms. Theinkeu does not solely rely on theory to make her points but rather cites undergraduate projects and firsthand experience with today's cancer patients as she outlines the changes that she believes will prioritize the health of parties in need.

Ms. Theinkeu, in a post-award questionnaire, notes that winning the Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Cancer Scholarship alleviates her financial stress while also affirming her confidence in her academic abilities. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers specifically applauds Ms. Theinkeu's adept research and accessible, pathos-driven writing style.

Ms. Theinkeu notes that she plans to take the award Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers has given her and use it to explore new opportunities to engage in meaningful cancer research and advocacy. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers celebrates her unwavering commitment to public health and wishes Ms. Theinkeu the best of luck as she moves forward in pursuit of her dreams.

Previous Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Cancer Scholarship winners include 2022's winner, Maximiliano Castillo. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers proudly welcomes Ms. Theinkeu into a family of stalwart students intent on changing the future of the medical industry.
