If we're not churning or mixing, we're on the phone or answering emails, says doctoral molecular and cell biology student Abrar Abidi, speaking of the effort he and a small group of volunteers have been putting into the production of hand sanitizer for the Bay Area's most vulnerable residents. Working from a lab at Berkeley's Li Ka Shing Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences, and funded by donations, they have distributed hundreds of gallons of their santizer among homeless shelters, the San Francisco County Jail, and food banks in the area. "You have thousands of people who have been obliged to live on the street and have barely any place to wash their hands," Abidi says. "I believe that having access to basic hygiene supplies and the ability to keep ourselves healthy should be a basic human right," adds research assistant and volunteer Yvonne Hao.
