In a piece this month for @BulletinAtomic, @Middlebury's @AKStanger points toward our work on "What Could BG Be?" for @Google @Jigsaw, utilizing @compdem's Polis platform

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was formed in 1945, after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by scientists who had been part of the Manhattan Project.
Our civic imagination work on @bg2050project continues. We're now bringing this approach to other places. Excited about the crucial work ahead.
In the final video of the 3-part New Kentucky Home series from @GovAndyBeshear & @CEDkygov about @bg2050project InnoEngine helps lead, local leaders talk about the welcoming nature of the community to those who want to build their careers & families here.
