My first co-authorship of a patent. It is about using autocatylitic chemical waves ๐งช to measure, transmit, amplify, and detect system changes. Jason has been championing this concept for several years now. Nice to see patent approved. www.freepatentsonline.com/12196729.html

My husband is a federal employee, a molecular biologist who moved from the private sector to government work because he didn't think all research should be driven by profit or captured by by patent. I know many wonderful public servants. So saddened by the anticipated treatment of such fine folks.
