Cam is dipping a grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of tomato soup when he feels the summons. He goes ahead and grabs it. Doesn't even drop the sandwich.

"In the meantime, I need to get these notes filed."

"Can you recommend anyone else who might also be interested in helping me get stuff spread out as fast as possible?" Cam asks, which is fairly diplomatic compared to "I can cure six forms of cancer, fuck your notes".
It is, it's true. Unfortunately, Professor Marsh does not understand the magnitude of what Demon Cam has to offer.
He names someone in the medical department that Daphne isn't personally acquainted with, and writes a note of introduction.

Which Cam takes. He goes looking for the person in the medical department.
The person in the medical department is familiar with the general reputation of Daphne's social circle but not with her specifically. She is duly impressed by his demonstration of ability-to-make-things, and asks for a demonstration of a future-thing.
The medical person calls over an IT person who asks for permission to poke at the innards of the computer.
Open up the casing to see how it's put together and how it works. They have zero interest in his personal data.
That works too.
IT guy oohs and aahs over the way it's constructed but is puzzled by the input mechanism. It appears to be designed to wirelessly connect to...something.

Yeah, they're pretty convinced he's from a future. Various medical department people begin phoning various other people excitedly.
Among other things, someone from--some government medical organization--will be down tomorrow. Curing several types of cancer is very exciting but they're not expending the resources it would take to get someone there sooner on hearsay.

...May Cam have the phone to the person who is concerned about hearsay?
...Sure, okay.

"Hi. I'm the interesting resource-fountain in question. I got the ball rolling on exterminating malaria last night and I don't want to slow down. If I come visit you in my little spaceship will you bump up that meeting a little sooner?"
There is a pause. The man on the other end of the line asks him to hold on for a moment. There is sounds of shouting going on on the other end.
After a few minutes there is another man on the end. He asks what exactly it was that Cam did about malaria.

"I released an extremely large quantity of sterile, male mosquitoes over the affected areas. When their numbers drop the parasite won't be able to complete its life cycle."
The man on the other end wants to know how he got from the affected areas to Borgia University in Pennsylvania.

"In my little spaceship. I'm sure I mentioned the little spaceship."
