Let Molecular Reality Inc. Make a Molecular Game Based on Rick and Morty

Molecular Reality Corporation™ has built the demonpore 64™, world's first "molecular gaming console™", an advanced scientific instrument, powered by nanopores, that lets people "play" experiments with real cells and molecules that they put into the console. This lets "Player Scientists" immediately contribute to vast, coordinated experiments that will push forward the boundaries of synthetic biology and biomedicine, accelerating biotechnology and saving millions of lives.
We're an accomplished team of scientists, engineers, game designers, and artists with a goal to increase scientific literacy with an inexpensive but powerful single-cell-and-molecule sensor that's as easy to use as a toy. We have some of the world's most prominent leaders of biotech toolkit development working with us, including our SAB member Prof. George Church of Harvard Medical School, one of the early leaders of the Human Genome Project.
And we LOVE Rick and Morty, obviously! We are passionate fans of the century's most mind-bending, funny, literate, and profound work of popular scifi tragicomedy. Who thought that the only serious mainstream artistic exposition of the existential challenges we'll face as we get closer to the Singularity, would be a freakin' CARTOON?!
We have that in common with Rick and Morty: something huge coming from an unexpected place—a biotech project that will save lives, using entertainment as a vector. We've based our early "molecular games" loosely on video games from the 80s and we've taken some parodistic liberties with a few of the names ("2021: A SARS Odyssey", and "Genomic Ranger" are two of the early titles we're developing), but we're MOST excited about the prospect of a molecular game based on Rick and Morty!
It's a simple ask: get Dan Harmon or Justin Roiland to talk to us, and we'll take it from there. It's way easier for us to get in touch with famous-to-us scientists than it is to get in touch with famous-to-everyone artists, so we're hoping this petition will help! The goal is simply to have Dan or Justin reach out to our CEO Kent Kemmish at kent@molecularreality.com
