In case anyone is wondering, he won a pitch competition hosted by 3M who sponsored him to do research into adding imiquimod to soap: time.com/6996507/heman-bekele/
Unfortunately, probably nothing will come of this because as Times’s own article states, the FDA would take at least a decade before approving it, meaning the only way they’ll be able to rapidly prototype it would be with the full backing of a pharmaceutical company (3M) which means they’ll be selling 40k per unit bars of soap.
ie cough up half a million for skin cancer treatment anyway.
But thanks 3M for pretending to care about cancer after you got sued for exposing the entire US population to PFAS.
