Mind disclosing the name of retreat and place where one can attend?

Would you want to play risky where you do not mind loosing a chunk of the size? Invest in a few obscured cryptos after doing some due diligence where there is a chance of 10-100x return.
Want to play safe where moderate risk is tolerable? Invest in real-estate but it also depends on market and country. People think buying a franchise will make them an entrepreneur but remember franchise is nothing but a job disguised under thin veil of entrepreneurship. In Franchise business, someone else has a major control over your business and you have to play by their playbook rule. In addition, there is a very little room to scale.
However, if you are person with some developer or marketeer skill then this is the best route to go. If you have few ideas then you can test those by developing a prototype and putting in hand of customers and getting feedback. But be aware that for each prototype you should not spend more than 5-10k. If you have sufficient time in your hand then other non conventional investments can be buying farm lands and trying organic farming, providing micro-loans to entrepreneurs etc.
Moreover if you really want to attract people into your ideas you need to tell a bit more about yourself. Why should I join force with you? What are you bringing on the table?
I will add these two links below for a reference.

In addition, most of the peptides that can be synthesized from a protein structures are sequential epitopes. To ELI5, imagine a string with beads that starts with A-Z letters and we take a smaller sequence A-B-C-D or B-C-D-E and throw to system to build antibody against it. Yes, the immune system can make antibodies against it. But in real life, most of the protective or virus neutralizing antibodies comes from conformational epitopes. Imagine when the protein gets folded to its natural form then the beads with letter sequences are just jumbled sequences and finding a conformational epitope is key to raise neutralizing antibodies. That is only possible when a protein's structure is fully understood using x-ray crystallography. The article does not disclose how the author was able to get those sequences and how he was sure about its efficacy.
However, the author's bold step towards the experiment is praiseworthy. But extreme caution is needs to be taken as self administering an untested drug or vaccine may fall within the boundary of law and it can invoke regulatory actions against him.
Any courses on frameworks such as ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails or Django would be great. I can see the complexity arising in creating in-browser tutorials involving any backend or framework etc. But I think it will add tremendous value to the platform.
