Question: How would you ajust the process so you dont have to go to a clean room or a dark room so it could be done at the GP?

This is actually a brilliant question! It ties into my work really well.

What I’m doing now is figuring out how to best make my silver shapes so that they improve disease detection.

I’ve answered questions earlier in this section about exactly they work, but breifly: My silver shapes can absorb certain colours of light if they’re made just right, they can use this stolen light to make glowing molecules 30 times brighter!

We attach these molecules to chemicals in your blood that are only there if you have a disease, so the more glow, the more disease.

Once I’ve worked out the best way of doing it, I can start testing it away from the clean and dark rooms.

Then I’ll try and make machines that go in your GP’s office, if each glowing molecule is 30 times brighter, you can detect with 30 times less amount of blood, so you can do it in your doctors office!

Hope I’ve answered your really great question!
