College Students Plan to Cure Cancer…One Beer at a Time
October 20, 2008 5:30 pm Posted in News Mandy - Hofstra g+ page
Whoever says college students are lazy, ungrateful and just wasting their time and (parents’) money hasn’t been to Rice University, where a group of students is working diligently on a cure for heart disease and cancer.
That just so happens to be a beer.
The students are hoping to create a genetically modified strain of yeast that will ferment the beer while also producing resveratol, a substance in grapes that has been shown to reduce the risks of heart disease and cancer.
The brew will be known as BioBeer, and if all goes well, we will all soon be drinking/chugging/bonging/beer ponging/keg standing to our health.
Literally.
Great work, students of Rice University. Great work indeed.
