LEARNING TO WRITE:
At 30, I added "write a novel" to my bucket list. Pursued it with fervor, trial an error. It changed my life, my career.
It empowers you to:
1. Develop thoughts succinctly
2. Enhance power of your points
3. Re-think as you edit
4. "See" how others will digest
5. Broaden spectrum of thinking
6. Critical thinking

He got it from his mama.
Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.
His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

I’m extremely honored to be nominated by President Trump to serve as Director of the National Science Foundation.
Heroic scientists have always challenged consensus to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Recently, many institutions have weakened academic freedom and lost the trust they once enjoyed. Yet across our country, a new golden age of discovery is dawning. Information is open source and debate is public.
The marketplace of ideas is not an efficient market. Finding and funding independent thinkers and builders has taught me to eliminate bottlenecks and favor rigorous science that replicates. Private funders are developing frontier models and useful technology. Government should take bigger financial risks to pose and answer deeper questions.
NSF’s scientists and staff have built something worth strengthening. Working together, scientists, engineers, investors, research institutions, and businesses can support American genius, enhance national security, enrich our economy, and improve our quality of life.
Entropy is on the march and China is not waiting.

One year ago, Airbnb cofounder @jgebbia became Chief Design Officer of the United States. At the National Design Studio, he’s built a small army of engineers and creatives to help him overhaul government branding and software.

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth.
On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world.
Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

A quick look at how @USOPM is modernizing the federal workforce. Director @skupor sat down with @GregBarbaccia of @WHOMB to discuss how technologists can get involved in the government.
