Ro's latest case study finds that, if deployed early and widely, telehealth could extend the time until peak # of infections & reduce the peak # of infections. This buys us time to prepare and helps prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. https://t.co/5ayRYRUnko
Craigslist founder @craignewmark just donated $1 million to help teachers in low-income areas fund STEM-related projects.
