The Joy Of Physics
On the One Show on BBC television, yesterday there was a report about a man called Ian Tansley, who has invented a vaccine fridge for use in places like Africa, where the electricity is not reliable.
This Wikipedia entry for Sure Chill Technology describes the technology and this report on the BBC, describes how the invention has been backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Physics to many is a dull subject at school, but to me, it’s the key to so many interesting inventions and ideas that will shape our lives in a better way.
The World-Changing Invention Of The Decade
I heard about Stablepharma on the BBC 5 Live Science program.
The delivery of vaccines to isolated places all over the world is very worthwhile and extremely expensive because it needs a lot of refrigeration for the journey.
But read about the technology being developed by Stablepharma.
If this can be made to work, healthcare will never be the same again!
