I was blown away by a recent presentation by Dr. Peter de Menocal of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)! The groundbreaking ocean technology research being done at WHOI is truly inspiring (and very cool). Their deep dive into the ocean's carbon cycle and its potential for addressing climate change underscores the critical role oceans play in our planet's health.Special thanks to my friend Elizabeth Rivera, Director of Development at WHOI, for the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at this world-class research.If you're passionate about ocean science and its potential for positive impact, I highly recommend checking out the incredible work being done at Woods Hole:https://www.whoi.edu/#climatesolutions #oceanscience #WHOI

Some great methods here for maximizing productivity! Thank you for sharing this cheat sheet, Arvid Pedersen!

Thursday's StartOut event in NYC was truly inspiring! Thanks Brian Richardson and team for hosting this awesome networking event. AND thanks for reminding us of these stats: •Only 0.5% of the $2.1T in startup funding was raised by LGBTQ+ founders while nationwide 7.1% of the population identifies as LGBTQ+. (We still have a long way to go but will get there!)•LGBTQ+ founders created 36% more jobs, 114% more patents, and 44% more exits, despite raising 16% less funding compared to the average founder. (Very telling!)
