ScienceBlogs Book Club: Inside the Outbreaks

The Corpus Callosum

The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.

The inventor hopes to see them become commonplace in the third world.  Strange, because the frame alone costs $2,700 in the USA.  

However, the frames can be made with no power tools.  The material is cheaper than dirt.  (Pound for pound, compared to potting soil.)  Get a few folks who have time on their hands and a bit of skill, and they could start a business.  Presumably they would be a lot less than $2,700 under those circumstances.
