@nickgraynews @pitdesi @zachware @SamHollander_ +1 on https://t.co/X3wfL07eun. I am a user for like 6 months now and multiple times I’ve gotten $500-600 refunded on a trip flight/hotel. Didn’t have to do anything either, was surprised it was able to do the whole refund and confirmation automatically. Great and simple product

[Saif Ishoof 3️⃣☕️5️⃣ @saif305]

One of the most common criticisms of Miami: “You don’t have the talent. You don’t have the research base.”

Let me give you a number: $927 million.
That’s how much R1 research South Florida produces every year.

@univmiami : $492M (AAU member — same club as Stanford and MIT)
@FIU : $326M (#1 public university for social mobility)
@FloridaAtlantic : $109M (just earned R1 status last year)

Three R1 universities. Within 80 miles of each other.

And the pipeline starts even earlier — at @MDCollege . Largest institution of higher education in the country. 100K+ students.

First-gen kids walking in with nothing but hunger and walking out into the research pipeline.

Five years ago people said we didn’t have the VC base. Then funding went to billions. The capital followed the energy.

Research will follow the same curve.

Gradually. Then suddenly.
