    Super impressed by your dedication, knowledge and creativity. Just want to point out to other prospective donors: Oxytocin is just one of many life-saving drugs and vaccines that need to be kept cold... which is a huge problem in many countries. The current approach is "excursion indicators" on the packaging, like this: http://shockwatch.com/products/temperature/temperature-indicators If I understand correctly: the approach that Heather+Kelsie+Josh are taking could not only save lives, but have HUGE market potential, if it can be produced cheaper than that.
