Liquid gold
Cal alums will especially love this story from UC Berkeley News featuring the good works of graduate student Abrar Abidi and research assistant Yvonne Hao. Together they figured out how to make liquid hand sanitizer for themselves and friends - and then quickly scaled up the project to get this product out to high-risk groups such as those people living on the streets and in shelters and prisons. Their initiative combined with faculty support, donations, and the repurposing of existing lab space has the campus on track to produce 200-300 gallons of hand sanitizer per week. Abidi describes the work as "satisfying, exhausting, and fulfilling.” I would add to that “lifesaving.” #GoBears #Blue&Gold (normally followed by #BeatStanford, but not during a pandemic).
