It was Mandy – Dr Amanda Thompson – who drew us into this whole ‘Femdemic’ disaster.  The three of us had graduated together from Harvard Biomed, and were going to change the world.

Even before Amanda, Jackson, and I had formed NeoMed, biomedical researchers had been using digital simulations for decades.  And it wasn’t even necessary to buy your own computing gear: you could run your models in the cloud more cost effectively than buying or building a small bespoke supercomputer.

Anyway, with our shiny new doctorates in hand and full of plans to change the world, Mandy, Jackson Deshawn, and me, Sam White, formed NeoMed.  We’d worked well together in our shared classes and especially in our lab work at Harvard and we’d all obtained our PhDs within a few months of each other.  I met up with Jax in our favorite bar, straight after he returned from his Caribbean post-doc holiday, his ebony skin practically glowing from sun, rum, and – I assumed – massages from hot Jamaican babes.

When I told him Mandy and I had already found a place for a small lab and done all the paperwork needed to set it up and get accreditation, he knew we weren’t just blowing smoke.  Long story short, we signed him on and hit the ground running, working initially on an idea Mandy had come up with for a new approach to weight loss, building on the work we’d each individually pursued related to different aspects of the gut-brain connection.

Everything was going great – our progress was excellent and our investors were happy with our reports – when the story broke. A woman in Bellefonte, the report in the Wilmington News Journal claimed, was the first local case of what was then being called ‘Transmania’ – another woman who on the surface had pretty good evidence she’d been a male, just a week before.  This was shortly after the CDC had sequenced the viral agent and released its warnings that the disease might be a real problem.  Jax, Mandy, and I were reading the story at breakfast after an all-nighter, and Jax had made some joke – based on the picture of the ‘guy’ in the story being hot enough for him to date – when Mandy got that look in her eye.

Guys, if this is real, it could change everything for us.  With our setup here, and a sample of that guy’s blood, and the virus’s published DNA sequence, we could whip up a quick mRNA vaccine and make a killing.  And if her body really changed from male to female?  Think what that must mean, at the cellular level.

Jax and I had exchanged looks.  If it really can cause gross body changes in a week, I said, it’d have to be doing something novel. Whatever we learned would open up whole new avenues of research.  The millions we could make from a vaccine, or from our
