Great post. DARPA gives Moderna $56M grant to build an 'espresso machine' for COVID-19 response "to fund the development of a mobile manufacturing prototype" designed to speed up vaccine and therapeutic production.

The grant, part of DARPA’s Nucleic Acids On Demand World-Wide (NOW) initiative, will allow Moderna to create a 6-foot by 6-foot by 6-foot container that would be capable of producing "hundreds of doses" in just a few short days. These containers could be placed anywhere in the world, making distribution more seamless.
