Question: if you researched enough do you think that you would be able to help distribute safe drinking water globally? Do you think that you can invent something better than water for people that can't avail it in places such as some districts of Africa?

  It’s not part of my research, but I’d hope that it is something that some scientists are working on. It would be great if we didn’t have to worry about people getting enough to drink every day.

  We already have the technology to make clean water all over the world (desalination planets, water cleaning tablets etc). Its just money that is the problem. Governments simply have higher priorities than making sure everyone can drink clean water.

  Even with the technology that we have already, it is easily possible to distribute safe drinking water globally. Sadly it’s a question of incentive and cost.

  A school friend of mine has come up with a great way of helping to make clean water available in Africa… http://pumpaid.org/how/elephantpump/
