How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber? Ask them to pronounce "unionized".

In the '90s, I spent many hours fixing Y2K software bugs. Today, Y2K is often laughed off as a hoax. The issue was real, but nobody saw the consequences. Covid19 response is going to be similar. If the measures we take work, people won't believe they were necessary.

The UAE with a population of 9.4M has conducted 125k tests so far. The US with it's population of 327M, on the other hand, has conducted 41k tests. Look at the data and draw your own conclusions.
Conducting more tests is critical to treat people and prevent spread of COVID-19
We’ve gone through reports & press releases, country by country, curating a dataset with official estimates on tests

Capital matters. Minnesota startups raised $1B MORE than Wisconsin startups in 2019. Multiply that disparity by a decade and imagine what importing $10B into your economy would do...
Startups in Minnesota raised approximately $1.2B across 132 deals in 2019, up from $814.4M the year prior – likely a record for the state. So how are they starting out 2020? americaninno.com/minne/fundi…

ICYMI: @Inc ranks Madison #18 among the nation's top 50 "surge cities" for starting a business in 2020. The city now boasts "one of the fastest growing centers for early-stage funding deals per capita in the country." inc.com/surge-cities#Madison @MadisonRegion @WARF_News
It's an interesting model and one that can be especially beneficial to younger, untested entrepreneurs!
Yes seeing a lot of this!
1) basically super angel checks $50-150k into startups
2) more/faster investments than typical VC fund would
3) more diverse angel/operator LPs
Are they just buying relationships for future rounds or can these funds make $? We’ll find out soon!
So excited to see this collaboration between @wisystto, @CoLabEC, and @UWEauClaire coming to fruition!

👏👏👏 Well done Rosenberg lab! @UWMadison @uwsmph
Research from @uwsmph in #eNeuro investigates how various 2D visual cues combine to create robust 3D perception, finding that optimization of cues doesn't maximize visual precision, but both factor into how the brain solves perception issues.
