At the end of the day, it's people who create science and technology.

@di_goldene_pave founded Cosmic Frontier Labs to build a fleet of space telescopes designed to be produced, launched, and iterated on at a pace astronomy has never seen.

An uncomfortable truth running under the current debates about science is that if a researcher can't fund their work out of their own pocket, someone else needs to feel like they're buying something valuable.

This is what @Spec__Tech is striving to be!

(There are some prerequisite things on the tech tree we need to take care of first.)

I'm super excited to go for bold science as part of the @Spec__Tech Brains accelerator! I am pursuing a mechanistic way of scaling up phase transformations with x-rays and simulations. Check out the cohort in their thread!

We're excited to introduce the 2026 cohort of Brains fellows!

These ambitious scientists and technologists are working on ambitious coordinated research programs to create everything from electric noses, to bacteria-fighting viruses, atom-tracking cameras, and more.
