@stephsmithio Galapagos is at the top of our want to go list but it’s mostly for the diving. Jordan we found to be underrated, Taiwan is always a good time. Going to Okinawa this summer if yall want to join us!

Who'd start their first company in a country they’d never visited to solve an unsexy climate problem that nobody ever thinks about? @louispotok, that's who.

Inspired by his audacity, I flew to SE Asia to visit and write his story. Read it now (link in🧵)

I give tamarillo 1/10, jack fruit and mulberry 10/10. @rabbit_hmi’s ability to identify any of them is 0/10. Thanks @internet_pipes @stephsmithio for letting me to try so many new fruits and @MikeWigmore for letting me try your pokedex!

The new @SpotifyUSA AI is shockingly good, starting to become my default listening experience now. I wish I could talk with it though: tell it I want a workout mix right now, focus music, something fresh, etc

We learn best when doing what we love.

I love to eat.

Last month, my husband & our friend Jon, launched their second annual "Cheff's Table" where they cook tasting menus that educate through food.

An extremely well written and comprehensive look at the carbon removal industry. Highly recommend giving it a read if you’re interested in the space!

[Jamie Wong @jlfwong]

10,000s of tons of CO2/year: how much we can remove from the air in 2023

1,000,000,000s of tons of CO2/year: how much we need to remove by 2050

We need to double our capacity every 21 months for the next 27 years

I just learned about AutoGPT this morning @cerebralvalley_ hackathon and was blown away by its capabilities

@helenleemoon Great lessons and story @helenleemoon! I had similar aspirations about transitioning from working in cushy tech to becoming a chef. After a stage (which I absolutely loved), I decided to stay in tech. Curious to hear if you’d ever go back to finance.
