Amazon chose D.C./NYC corridor for their #HQ2 campus. Why? Not incentive packages, but access to talent. In ep. 1 of 6-part series, we explore a policy framework for incentivizing knowledge workers in #Mississippi. https://t.co/Re6QGW6KZF @InnovateMS @MECStateChamber @medcinfo

Why the #outmigration debate in #Mississippi is unnecessary. We can all agree, the more #talent we attract & retain, the better it is for #Mississippi. #MSBrainGain https://t.co/MgqjjD3mol > @InnovateMS @medcinfo @MECStateChamber @mdaworks @codems_net @CSpire @Bomgar @MC_VENTURES

So excited to endorse HB1550, it's a great first step towards retaining and attracting young talent. I look forward to seeing this legislation become law. Special thanks to @timmask for bringing this to the attention of the Caucus. #Bipartisanship #MSFutureCaucus

The MOST Magnificent Thing. This team from Petal, Mississippi designed a smart key holder that knows when keys are removed in under 5 hours. They each took home an Ender 3D printer. #STEMed #coding #makerspace @iD8Create @makerfaireHburg
