You're right. I can relate to what you are saying. (eg most of the nanotech/cancer stuff posted here is not as interesting as metal chelators. But it sounds "cool" and "hi-tech" to most people.)

The main reason I posted it was to get other people's opinion on it (since I don't have a degree in science).

What are your thoughts on the comedic potential? (ie a Farnsworth getting kicked out of a science fair despite building a reactor.)
