RT @techreview: Famed geneticist George Church and at least 20 others, many connected to Harvard and MIT, have volunteered for a DIY covid-19 vaccine. They didn’t want to wait for the results of clinical trials, but nobody knows if this vaccine is legal or if it works. https://t.co/Rl5Ff55R4E

Some scientists are taking a DIY coronavirus vaccine, and nobody knows if it’s legal or if it works

Preston Estep was alone in a borrowed laboratory, somewhere in Boston. No big company, no board meetings, no billion-dollar payout from Operation Warp Speed, the US government’s covid-19 vaccine funding program. No animal data. No ethics approval. What he did have: ingredients for a ...

Flexibility and Manufacturing Productivity: Part 1 – Inflexible Automation and its Consequences

Manufacturing as currently practiced — with poor human-machine collaboration — is not sufficiently responsive to the long-term trends of shorter product life cycles and increasing product diversity.
