Using the power of engineering and brilliant inventions to save lives!!! Great times collab-ing with Bill and Melinda Gates!
Pre-order a paper microscope here- https://www.foldscope.com/order
Read the published paper on the paper centrifuge, its cool- http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/08/30/072207

Summary: I met with Manu Prakash from Stanford to talk about 2 of his labs' inventions the Foldscope and the Paperfuge. Combined these cost only 68 cents and they can be used to diagnose Malaria. Both of these are examples not only of simple, brilliant design, but of how engineering is used to make a positive dent in the world.
