"You've got to have crazy, naive optimism. Starting the company was a bit like running blindfolded across the highway." Best description of what it's like looking back at your pre-founding self, once you have already crossed said highway. #ITW

Fascinating study finds that the Ohio vaccine lottery worked… & saved money!

An estimated 82,000 more people got vaccinated at $68 per head. It prevented 5,000 ICU at $13.5k/day.
👉 The $5.6 million lottery is estimated to have saved $66 million.

@BMontedoro @matthewclifford @fabricnano Grazie!!! Io stesso stento a crederci! 😃

@jonnyclifford @gaarons @join_ef @fabricnano It's really crazy to think of how I went from the underdog that barely made it to EF, to meeting @gaarons the amazing co-founder I didn't even know I needed, to reading such a tweet about myself! I feel like an anime protagonist tbh! I'm so thankful for everything @jonnyclifford!

[Ferdinando Randisi @FerdyRandisi]

@BMontedoro @matthewclifford @fabricnano Grazie! :-D

[Matt Clifford @matthewclifford]

“We need to have a big permanently occupied base on the moon, and then build a city on Mars and become a spacefaring civilization. We don’t want to be one of those single planet species, we want to be a multi-planetary species.” — @ElonMusk

Public support for life on Mars is critical to making it happen

71% of Italians believe that 🇩🇪 has met its renewable energy targets - although this is not true.

~70% of both Germans and Italians think that 🇮🇹 has missed its renewable energy targets - although Italy has actually met them.

Italians: excessively pessimistic self-assessment?!

@lrovigatti @ox_DNA The code should have gotten it’s own name! I’m sure it would have been as catchy as the names of all the other tools you built :-)
