Absolutely in love with this work from @IFP and @_HannahRitchie.
Makes me feel the power flowing and fluctuating through the country over the last 25 years.

Visiting a city, while consuming media set in that city, is like eating dinner with fun beverage pairings!
Reading a book vs. watching a movie vs. listening to an album bring out different flavor profiles of a city!! 🍖🍾
Let me know if you got any city pairing recs

Hong Kong and Lucas Sin youtube
Watching Lucas go to his favorite Hong Kong bbq spot, then taking a 30 minute bus to the most eastern part of Hong Kong Island to have the best char siu of my life...
Like an ice cold beer with grilled meats.

Choice in nuclear reactor design reflects something deeper about how these companies operate.
Microsoft going for old as hell, legacy light water reactor
Google betting on fancy molten salt reactor
Amazon adding carbide coatings over uranium pellets
Sep 20 - Microsoft announces Three Mile Island deal (Pennsylvania)

West Oakland has been a hub for manufacturing and shipping for over 100 years!
Really fun to learn about how consistent the relationship between SF and Oakland has been for a century.

Favorite nugget:
Kaiser Permanente is a spinoff of Kaiser Shipyards in Alameda and Oakland, which employed ~79,000 people building steel ships during WW2
They provided hospital care to their employees and got really good at it

Blasting rocks with lasers to make metal continues to be the best job in the world.
Grateful for this @ARPAE X @LimelightSteel collab. It means so much for the company, but also for me personally.
ARPA-E just announced $28M for 13 projects to advance zero-process-emission ironmaking and ultra-low life cycle emissions steelmaking⚒️.
Learn more about the selected projects under the Revolutionizing Ore to Steel to Impact Emissions (ROSIE) program: bit.ly/4aFIkSz
@activatefellows was started by ARPA-E alums that wanted to empower scientists to turn their research into world-changing companies.
@OliviaDippo and I would not be here without @ilangur and everyone at Activate that have supported us through magma and back again.
