Drug Rape Prevention: DrinkSavvy Color Changing Drinkware
The problem is that date rape drugs are odorless, colorless, and tasteless once they’re in your drink.  We all know not to leave our drinks unattended, but the reality is it’s impossible to keep an eye on your drink all night.  So what’s the solution?  With the help of Dr. John MacDonald, a professor of chemistry at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and with the help of Contract Researching Organizations, DrinkSavvy is developing material that will immediately change color to warn you if a drug is slipped into your drink.

Great!  But it doesn’t stop there.  Together, DrinkSavvy will have the funding necessary to fully develop the material and drinkware directly from this material, such as, Plastic Straws and Stirrers, Plastic Party Cups, and Glassware.        
That means discrete, 100% effortless, and continuous drink monitoring throughout the night, because the same drinkware that you are drinking with…is also the color changing material that makes invisible drugs visible.
While DrinkSavvy’s initial goal is to perfect our design to make our products available online and free to select rape crisis centers, DrinkSavvy’s ultimate goal is to use the success of this campaign to convince bars, clubs, and colleges to make DrinkSavvy the new safety standard and eventually make drug-facilitated sexual assault a crime of the past.  So please, back DrinkSavvy to be a part of something that will change the world for the better.  Back DrinkSavvy to be a part of something that has never been done before, and back DrinkSavvy to prevent someone you care about from possibly being the victim of drug-facilitated sexual assault. Thank you all so much in advance, and remember, when you’re out drinking, drink smart, drink safe, DrinkSavvy.

Wow, I’m glad this post actually explains more than the other posts promoting it. I think this is really cool and I’m looking forward to seeing it supported.

Signal boosting this again - they’re 20k down and 7 days out, and this project would be really useful.

Greetings and salutations!

The blogger in residence: Lisa. College student. Aspiring marine biologist. Fangirl. Ain't got a fucking clue about sexuality but we'll see when we see. Atheist. Staunchly liberal. Knows a moderate amount of French. Reviews books here.
Formerly les-baleines.

The blog contents: Homestuck, Doctor Who, Firefly, Fullmetal Alchemist, the Abhorsen Trilogy, Mistborn/cosmere books, Avatar: The Last Airbender and limited Legend of Korra, occasional Harry Potter. Links to all of these may be found in the scarves on the upper left of the screen. Also included are whales, dragons, pretty scenery, pretty art, The West Wing, whining about college, politics, cats, the Olympics, neat science things, puns of varying quality, critical analysis and/or dissection of anything and everything as dictated by mood, pictures of food, and pictures of Paris.

Friendly room creature!

Fic ideas I may or may not write

MOFF'S LAW APPLIES HERE. I like to analyze things and I hate being told that 'it's just a book/movie/whatever'. Don't even try it.

HTML code for scarves belongs to asongofwaterearthfireandair. Scarves belong to the individuals who made them, most of which are credited via the page linked above. Abhorsen Trilogy, Mistborn, and Firefly scarves are mine.

yes, yes, I know, terribly hipster use of Florence and the Machine lyrics. shush. they're pretty.
