My friend, Alynne MacLean, reached a milestone recently in her non-profit organization, Science with a Mission.
I have posted about Alynne before but in case you don't recall, she left her biochem job to form Science with a Mission in 2001. SMI makes test kits for many diseases including malaria, HIV, typhoid and hepatitis. Because no electricity is needed for the diagnostics, they are effective in remote areas of the world and have been used in 49 countries.
The recent milestone was delivering the 100,000th unit. See the picture above. Quite an accomplishment considering that she and a few volunteers do most all the work.
You can read more information in a new article about SMI plus other links here.
The website for Science with a Mission can be reached here.
Enjoy the reading and let me know what you think.

I've heard about non-electric centrifuges before. Makes one think how different things are in the developing world. Awesome organization.
