| Description |
Interviewed by Brent Schlender. More photos below. Some fun quotes: “Take nuclear: It takes longer than the length of a patent to get something done. Given all the regulatory steps, will it come out during your lifetime? When people invent something, they generally like to see it happen during their lifetime. Well, if you are not religious, which is one of my problems.” When asked for a recommendation from the books he has at home: “Latrines are fascinating. It’s one of the greatest under-investments, in getting engineers to work on it. The flush toilet is an unfeasible approach. The book is Water and Sanitation, and it’s quite lurid.” “I read 2-3 hours per day. History of science I love.” When asked about buying a supercomputer for simulation. “The real reason science advances is the tools. The general impact of modeling is deeply underestimated. . We don’t have a good disease model. The government should copy the TV show 24. We are using the computer simulations for that funny, crazy group Terrapower. On paper it’s amazing. And for all this disease stuff. It’s better than iterating in the field when the mosquito and plasmodium evolve to be stronger if you experiment on them. We are going to put out this disease modeling program for free. The key is to get adults that don’t show symptoms. That is the key bottleneck. The model has taught us that.” |
