I think he convinced an oil company that he would make them awesome biofuels. Too bad they are spending millions on a project that could have been done with thousands.

I'm still trying to figure out how he became a multimillionaire and
got so many huge projects funded. Wikipedia says he graduated with a
PhD, was a professor for a little, then went to the NIH. But then I
don't know what happened in between and all I remember is hearing
about him years ago out on a giant sail boat sequencing things in the
ocean, then doing the human genome project, then doing synthetic
genomic things.
