Representatives at the office were not responding to my emails or phone calls, so I decided to go with generous snail mail. The gift boxes I made included handmade masks with the Free the Vaccine logo on it and coffee cups with the University of Texas logo on them (except I changed their tagline from &#8220;What starts here changes the world&#8221; to &#8220;What starts here SAVES the world&#8221;. It also included beautiful flyer of the Open Covid Pledge, article from the World Health Organization advocating for the pledge, and an imaginary cover of TIME Magazine with UT Pharmacy&#8217;s faces (see images).<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"interpretive_statement_container\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><!-- no interpretive statement for this work --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ccp-primary-dark-color has-ccp-secondary-light-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"has-ccp-primary-dark-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">STRATEGIES: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/tag\/be-generous\/\" rel=\"tag\">Be generous<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/tag\/popular-culture\/\" rel=\"tag\">Connect with popular culture<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/tag\/surprise\/\" rel=\"tag\">Surprise!<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ccp-white-color has-text-color has-ccp-secondary-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"has-ccp-white-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">TRY THIS:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a version for your target.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objective:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main objective was to get representatives from the Technical Transfer Office at the University of Texas to respond to me, so that we can start a discussion about the Open Covid Pledge, on how to pledge making their research for COVID-19 free \/ available to all and how to make their therapeutics for COVID-19 sustainably priced. My tactic was to take a generous approach, to show that the Austin community deeply cares about their researchers&#8217; efforts in ending the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top is-image-fill has-ccp-secondary-light-background-color has-background\">\r\n\t\r\n\t<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-content\/uploads\/formidable\/1\/IMG_6355_2-scaled.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\">\r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-content\/uploads\/formidable\/1\/IMG_6355_2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n\n\n<div class=\"work_tombstone\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About this project<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creators:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\n                    \n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/danniesnyder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dannie Snyder<\/a>\n                <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/materials\/fabric\/\" title=\"View all posts filed under Fabric\">Fabric<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/materials\/image-graphic\/\" title=\"View all posts filed under Image\/graphic\">Image\/graphic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">United States, Austin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\/A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/license\/cc0\/\" title=\"View all posts filed under Public Domain\">Public Domain<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download Original\/High-Resolution File: <a href=\"https:\/\/freethevaccine.org\/exhibit\/wp-content\/uploads\/formidable\/1\/IMG_6365-3.09.19-PM-scaled.jpg\" class=\"frm_file_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IMG_6365-3.09.19-PM.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/p>\n<p>        <!-- wp:html --><br>\n        <div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/freethevaccine.org\\\/exhibit\\\/works\\\/gift-boxes-for-the-technical-transfer-office-at-the-university-of-texas\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"580\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 575px;
