He said students should focus on doing things like getting universities to allow developing countries to use their patented technologies. “There are tons of avenues to be explored that aren’t a quick fix,” he said. “Obviously, this is a direct service, but at the same time, it becomes apparent that if you’re not specifically trained, like being an M.D., there are barriers.
