Tech: Bill Gates throws money to a bunch of awesome crap for no reason
- 78 the number of health projects Bill Gates is funding
- $100,000 the amount each of the project
got from Gates source
- ยป What did he fund, anyway? In order of weirdness (least weird to most weird): A cell phone microscope to help fight malaria, a vaccine triggered by human sweat, treating migrant workers’ scarves with insecticide to reduce malaria, using ultrasounds at reversible male contraceptives, a way to control mosquitoes using flesh-eating plants, and an imaging technology to kill parasites with FRICKIN’ LASER BEAMS.
