Brains and volcanos?!? I’d say that would get any kid’s attention! Thanks again @samrudolph4 for helping us make the Young Innovator’s Science Fair a success!

Last year for Women's Day I was interviewed by @realventures about ways in which we can encourage young girls to see themselves in hashtag #STEM careers. This year, we were able to bring one of my ideas to life! 👩‍🔬 🔬 ⚗

[Real Ventures @realventures]

Thrilled to share this fun event we hosted with @TRULUV_ai, @AimColours, @dcbel_energy, Royal Charles Elementary and the @mcgillu Chemistry Outreach Group to spark a love for science in young minds while empowering more girls to pursue STEM careers! #CommunityImpact

I am thrilled to have been named to @readthepeak 2024 Class of Emerging Leaders for making a notable impact in my field.

#ClimateTech is a space where consumer products meets hard scientific and engineering problems and I'm excited to continue to make a dent in the space.

@lennysan @HarryStebbings Congrats man! Waiting for @TrustVanta to send him some Soc2 baby socks.

@Dan__McCarthy @MariaVirginiaO really gorgeous reporting here. Do you have any insight on the levers slowing down the growth of storage in 2028 and beyond? Surprised to see that as historical data shows solar + storage growing hand in hand.

@NicoleKelner This is excellent content!

Your qualifications only matter when you have a losing record.

The corollary to this is that nobody cares where a winner went to school or who they worked for.

I was reminded of this as I read the saga about the President of Stanford resigning over some research papers. Had these papers actually solved something, no one would be saying anything.

Why does this matter to you?

The real value to society is when smart people can do ground breaking work, be experimental and then publish work publicly without having to go through a hierarchy whose incentives aren’t entirely those of scholarship.

Take the most relevant research paper of our current times: “Attention Is All You Need”. Notice that the authors were a scrabble of folks from within and outside Google.

https://t.co/RaX6LFh5GE

The paper above has helped create a tsunami of AI for all of us. Would it have been the same outcome if it had to meander through a university faculty?

In the Stanford case, the research wasn’t that groundbreaking so the hierarchy didn’t care if the research was valid…just that they were able to put their name at the front of it.

The difficulties of building 0 to 1 are for moments like these.

Our flagship product, dcbel r16, has just received @Intertek certification! This remarkable achievement means the r16 is the first certified residential bidirectional DC electric vehicle charger in the US - and a new era of home energy is about to unfold.

@aniruddh_mohan Your assumptions make total sense, but with the advent of faster, >10kW chargers in the home it could make a lot more sense for at least a top up!

Only 23% of Canadians working in science and tech identify as women ... and I'm one of them! In support of #womensday2023, I spoke to @realventures about how we can encourage more girls and women to enter STEM fields.

[Real Ventures @realventures]

In honor of #internationalwomensday2023 (March 8th), we’re proud to highlight, through a month-long video series, the incredible #women working in #tech within our portfolio.

#TAG a women leader you know and help us showcase amazing women making waves in their field 👩🏽‍💼👩🏻‍🔬👩🏿‍💻👩🏼‍⚕️👩🏾‍🚀

– a relationship is about inventing your own language. You've got the jokes, you've got the songs, you have this anecdote that's going to make you laugh three years later. It's the language that you build. That's what you mourn for when you're losing someone you love.
