We've got some major updates on our DIY pharmaceutical R&D technology stack.

We can't give you all the details until after our presentation at DEF CON (https://defcon.org/html/defcon-32/dc-32-speakers.html#54498 and live streaming link on Twitch, no account needed: https://www.twitch.tv/defcon_dctv_two), but we can say that we'll be showing off a novel method to make sofosbuvir (the cure for Hepatitis C) at a tiny fraction of the price big pharma charges.

We'll also be demoing the newest edition of the MicroLab, our DIY lab reactor that you can build at home for a few hundred dollars (https://github.com/FourThievesVinegar/solderless-microlab/blob/master/docs/index.md). Together with our Recipe Press (which generates instructions for the MicroLab) and ChemHacktica (our hijacked machine-learning-based chemical synthesis planner), the MicroLab Suite provides all the tools needed to plan and execute reactions that you need for DIY medicines.

Are you ready for DIY drug development? What medications would you hijack? The era of computer-aided home chemistry is dawning and we can't wait to see where you all take it.

As always: Keep each other healthy. Keep each other safe.

Insulin.

Misoprostal.

Leuprorelin.

This is the kind of stuff from a William Gibson or Neal Stephenson novel. Usually doesn't end up well

@4thievesvinegar Y'all are doing great work. Thank you, be safe, and remember to take time for yourselves. 🤘

What medications would you hijack?

Spironolactone and Estradiol.

@4thievesvinegar Insulin has to be one of the goals at some point?
