Uthgaard needs your help
 

Hey folks. If you haven't been following what I've been up to lately, for the past year I've been developing a machine that recycles hazardous chemicals. I prototyped it last summer, demoed it last fall proving it can get 99% purity or better, then picked up a contract to build a 20 liter stainless steel industrial pilot.

Interest has been growing to the extent that I've picked up a few competitive backers. But the relevant part is that I'm one of the three applicants who was selected globally to speak at the ACS Green Chem & Engineering Conference at the NIH in two weeks. The top presenter gets some decent seed funding; but more importantly, some notoriety and very important introductions to investors and entrepreneurship networks focused on the sustainable engineering community.

The winner is determined not only by the presentation at the conference, but also by a social media competition. So, here's how you can help this badass invention start making a difference ASAP:

Share this post, every share is 1 vote
Donate on the gofundme page, and cast your vote for Verdant in the ballot the ACS will email you.

This video is also posted on the gofundme page, but I'm linking it here because it should give you a pretty good idea about what I'm doing.

The ACS is the American Chemical Society. They're the most influential organization in my field, so this is about as legit as it gets. A competitive invitation to speak at this conference, should speak volumes about the work I'm doing - especially at my age.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for your support.

Somehow thats not what i would have guessed your day job would consist of.

I guess we all have our bad days.

Good luck in your day job endavours, we need shit like this.

Shared...good luck sir! I am rooting for ya.

Which one is Zade? Nice job if he got into Science.

p nifty stuff Uthgaard

i think zade is a chemist.. also that article is just one i read recently and it seems apropos

OIC. Also hook it up with a share FFS. Bob was a bro and did it.

I'd share it but the freaks on Red99 could find out my real name, im not putting myself at that much of a risk of online harrassment, from people with mental issues with too much time on their hands, sorry. I keep my red99 life and private life very segregated. Thats the only segregation i can think of that i can support.
