Interesting...but I don't think hacker news is the right place to share this type of article.

It's not irrelevant. Look through the HN guidelines [1]. Articles like this are definitely acceptable.

Hacker News Guidelines - What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

I actually think this particular article is not very good (see my top-level comment). However, this topic is one of the most important issues facing younger adults today. If the logical thinking, cold rationality, problem solving, and technical skills of this community can be applied to dealing with diseases like HIV, malaria, etc., it seems worth encouraging.
