7 It is estimated that DDT has saved ½ a billion lives

8 2.7 million deaths this year

9 The embargo on DDT has condemned 2.7 million (mainly children) to death this year

10 Bio-Nano approaches to a new anti-malarial?

11 Cross-section of VGCF Cross-section of VGCF 2m2m

12 Core Carbon Nanotube in VGCF 200 nm M.Endo, K.Takeuchi, T.Hiraoka, T.Furuta, T.Kasai, X.Sun, C.-H.Kiang, M.S.Dresselhaus, J.Phys.Chem.Solids, Vol.58, No.11, pp.1702-1712, (1997).

14 We need bundles of 10 14 nanotubes

15 Defects will not propagate among the straws

16 We need to make them meters long

17 The Pantheon – Rome

18 Then the recipe for Concrete was lost

19 We need bundles of 10 14 nanotubes
