1		Custom-printed decor: A business that accepts a customer's image and prints it on mini-blinds, wallpaper, or chair covers for them.	E-mail
2		Review Bank: It's hard for academic journals to find volunteer reviewers. To submit a paper to be published, journals may require one of the authors to review a paper. That would motivate scholars to review papers.	E-mail
3		3-D printing of mini-statues of people for their graves	E-mail
4		Organize big drug companies to pool money to start a research lab supply company to undercut charges of Sigma, Invitrogen, etc. by manufacturing in low-cost areas. They would aim to just break even but would all benefit by reducing research costs.	E-mail
5		Start an investment fund that donates its fee to charity, thus attracting more investors. Show both the investment stocks and the portfolio of charities and why they were chosen. Call it something like the "Doing Good by Doing Well" fund (DGDW).	E-mail
6		Is some insomnia caused by diet, particularly food eaten in the evening? If coffee, tea, and chocolate keep people awake, maybe many other foods contain other stimulants, or chemicals that are digested into stimulants. Write review article or do a trial.	E-mail
7		Study the literature and write a review article on the evidence for or against treating depression with particular dietary interventions, such as niacin, creatine, zinc, curcumin, or fasting.	E-mail
8		Why does mental illness correlate with heart disease? Grief causes a physically weak heart, or takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Maybe it's part of sickness behavior: sadness or illness weakening cardiovascular ability to make people rest and recover.	E-mail
9		Sequence gut or blood or brain microbiome to look for differences in diseases. Use open access data. Maybe microbiome affects a subset of depression or other diseases.	E-mail
