I love everything about the Mediterranean neutrino observatory: the name, the design, the far out science. https://www.km3net.org I hope they write a book about it, like the one in Antarctica—The Telescope in the Ice.

One of my favorite books is WHERE THE ANIMALS GO, which highlights the questions and science enabled by new biologging technologies. Together they paint a new picture of the natural world.

I’m fascinated by this CA e-bike initiative: giving out 1,500 e-bikes around the state. https://ebikeincentives.org/ I hope it’s being thoroughly studied. What are the economists saying? I expect a lot of positive externalities. I wrote about a similar idea: Scibetter.com/supply

Great listen from two of my fave people. And you can learn more about why Tom and I started Renaissance Philanthropy.

We're passing an important new milestone today at the Experiment Foundation: The grantees have become the grantors. Two new categories launched today: Plant Biology & MPA Innovation. Both Science Angels were previous (exceptional) grantees—now with programs of their own.

What we’re looking for in the SoP 2024 program. Know anyone who fits? summerofprotocols.com/research/sop...

Eager to get ahold of this. First, I learned so much from this cohort of researchers. I’m excited for everyone to see the work. Second, I think the Kit model is a fun “so crazy it just might work” idea in publishing. I’m excited to see how the format feels.

New grant opportunity: AI for interspecies communication. https://experiment.com/grants/interspecies This field seems poised for something new and interesting. Here’s your chance to get involved.

RIP to one of the world’s most interesting ships. I wish I could have experienced this: “The full transition from horizontal to vertical took 30 minutes, but the final 49 seconds were said to be the most gut-wrenching as it settled into its new orientation.”

Last year, I suspected that more VCs would start grant programs for scientists. scibetter.com/Hollywood Starting a thread here to keep track of those announcements.

Science in action 👇 Follow along with (nearly) real-time discovery, rather than waiting years to read the publication.
