A reputation for helping other entrepreneurs build profitable businesses could be translated into money. It would take patience, though, which is in short supply.
Assign these people some non-technical or quasi-technical responsibilities, like writing and reorganizing documentation, coordinating efforts with other organizations, or identifying legacy systems that are no longer in frequent use. These are tasks using knowledge they probably already have that are often neglected by IT teams.
The private sector has become very good at identifying human wants and monetizing them. Now if they could just figure out how to provide economic stability as a product/service. Even the illusion of stability would improve people's state of mind, and has value.
Since the purpose of review articles is more pedagogical than original research papers, it could make sense to accompany a review with some video lectures.
IMO, it's mainly that the rest of the Universe is so much more vast than this one world, and inhabiting any part of it besides Earth will likely require some kind of artificial environment. If humans figure out how to live indefinitely on Mars or Venus, we can eventually do the same in most other star systems, of which there are billions just in this galaxy.
Researchers spend so much time making and studying nanoparticles, now if only they could find a practical application for these particles.. something.. ANYTHING!!!
There's no one intent to the side on any issue, including this one. The supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage are each coalitions of people with various motivations.
And yet the "three great religions" practiced by the vast majority of the people who inhabit your biosphere have for their entire collective history said that this same creator says that such a marriage is not a marriage.
Homo sapiens is estimated to be at least 100,000 years old, and the oldest of these three religions is maybe 5,000 years old, so not quite our entire collective history, unless you think the Creation Museum in Kentucky has it right.
Depending on your perspective, you may or may not think Scalia's argument is appropriate to the case today. But it's still a valid principle of democracy that unelected folks don't get to unilaterally decide law without precedent.
Not so unilateral.. this would never have happened if lower courts, some state legislatures, state referenda, and general public opinion hadn't already decided in favor of same-sex marriage.
But due process of law has in the past been used to justify actions that we now widely agree are unjust. US law once required escaped slaves to be returned to their masters. Nazi law required Jews to be sent to death camps. There are many other examples. A concept of ideal justice must not only inform how you deal with criminals under current law, but allow you to question whether the law itself is just.
Because to inflict suffering is evil. That is why the bombing is a crime. In their warped belief system, the Tsarnaev brothers believed they were killing Americans as retribution for perceived crimes against Islam. Now America kills them as retribution, which inflames another extremist somewhere, and so on, and so on. We have no choice but to punish this man for his crime, but we don't have to enjoy it.
A treatment that chemically reduces body fat could help lower the "barriers to entry" of a healthier lifestyle. People who are obese face greater discomfort adjusting their eating and exercise habits than those who are not. Reducing their weight somewhat with moderate use of a medication like that described in the article could mitigate that discomfort and help them make the transition to healthier habits, after which the medication may not even be needed.

Even more so because grammar is a moving target. In 100 years, "r u rly ok? wtf!" may be formally correct English (or whatever they call it by then).

Cheaper fuel and building materials in space could enable new space ventures that today are "too big to launch"

Well I went deep on astrophysics (stellar evolution) and while it was very satifsying, the career ramifications were less than stellar (pun intended).

Wishing for someone to suffer, even one who has inflicted suffering on many others, is not the moral high ground.
