Find a real cure for Malaria and you can save a 2 Million lives a year
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

14
We need bundles of 10 14 nanotubes
15
Defects will not propagate among the straws
16
We need to make them meters long
