Here’s a quote from a highly entrepreneurial PhD student at Royal Holloway:

“I have a link here for a TED talk by Prof. George Whitesides, a legendary chemist from the US. He is talking about a diagnostic kit technology developed in his lab for applications in the developing world. The simplicity of the whole idea is inspiring for any person interested in the sciences. Ideas such as this do a lot for me, I am hoping it might do the same for others. ”
