Friday, July 22, 2022: 12:00 pm (DAC Little Theatre): How many times have you read a PopSci article claiming that a cure or a treatment of a disease has been discovered, only to never hear about it again? Sometimes it's because the journalists were a little overzealous in their estimations. But just as often it's merely because the treatment won't play well in the marketplace, and the cure just sits on the shelf, inaccessible. The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has been busy the last few years, not only unearthing specific examples of this, but also developing tools for individuals to develop their own discovery and manufacture processes. At this talk, a number of therapeutic regimens will be released, along with the newest version of the MicroLab, and online tools for chemical synthesis pathway discovery, which will go live for the first time and be accessible to the audience in real time during the talk. Requests will even be taken live on stage. It's worth stopping by and seeing if there's an easy way to cure or treat the disease you think is the most important to cure.
