    Our government should be putting more resources into funding scientific research but I hope a groundswell of public support shows how important it is to the public.

    Are you guys aware of this Outer Membrane Vesicle project on experiment.com?: https://experiment.com/projects/crispr-capsules-packaging-cas9-with-bacterial-outer-membrane-vesicles

    Hi Jim, yes we are aware of the Northwestern's project and are collaborating together with them! The results we get from our OMV project should be able to help projects like Northwestern's in the future.
