We can get to the MIT Media Lab. I have collaborated with MIT on a couple of occasions. I think we should reach out to them, but not until we get CAU fully on board. I think the out reach coming from CAU will buy us more than we could get on our own. The MIT Media and Energy Labs have some of the most forward looking people on earth. I met a guy during a conference there named Dr. Nocera who invented an artificial leaf that mimicked photosynthesis except it off gassed hydrogen instead of storing the hydrogen in the form of carbohydrates like plants do. Dr Nocera was probably a little ahead of himself, because the long hard work of bringing something from the lab is not easy and not always successful. MIT folk are great at hyping what they do, incredible though it may be, getting things to scale is not something they are known for. Caltech is the university, from the technology side, that is better known for taking things to scale. I think a collaboration with CAU will open up the doors for us at MIT, Caltech or where ever if we are really strategic in our approach.

Maybe we can download the formula instead of doing the yield studies. This video is amazing.
