Becoming the preeminent locus of agglomeration for the world's plucky up-and-comers has been one of the US's greatest achievements and most potent advantages.

Thanks TechCrunch SRS @ UCSD! MIT Media Lab names Dava Newman as new director tcrn.ch/2LWEz4x via TechCrunch

Exciting to see my Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) colleagues Maria Zuber and Eric Lander helping lead a new Administration into a new scientific era. The possibilities are endless.

🚀 I can't believe I'm saying this but . . . after years in the making, today is opening day for the new MIT Innovation Headquarters (iHQ). 😃 MIT Office of Innovation and Strategy MIT Sandbox @mitlegatum MIT News news.mit.edu/2021/new-hub-m…

A start-up founded by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says it is nearing a technological milestone that could take the world a step closer to fusion energy, which has eluded scientists for decades.

Beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the wonderful Strategy Unit Harvard Business School! I am immeasurably grateful to Ray, Cat, ezrazuckermansivan.bsky.social, Jerker & MIT Sloan School of Management for what an incredible journey this has been. I can’t wait to discover how my dreams extend just around the riverbend.

one thing I like about our model is we can adjust our intervention point to be early enough where we create new shots on goal + new leaders in bull markets & bear markets alike! (possible b/c there's a massive reservoir of scientific talent that could be in the game and isn't!)

Entrepreneurship can & should be taught: in Africa a little training transformed lives & boosted the economy. Ugandan founders randomized into a 3 week mini-MBA startup course had ~25% higher profits & 35% more investment 3 years later, creating many jobs! nber.org/papers/w28845
