In 2022, $238 billion in VC dollars were allocated. Just 1.9% went to women, down from 2.4% in 2021. In the first half of 2023, Black founders got 0.75% of venture funding, down from 1.25% from a year ago. We are in a crisis situation.

Why are we (@dcpublicschools) setting up ECE kids to fail with 36 grams of sugar and 650+ calories of mostly junk food during the school day (*excluding snacks*)? Those who need better nutrition the most will eat βfrudelβ and graham crackers for breakfast. Why, DC?

Richard Record @WorldBankECA: What would happen if we reduced barriers to trade in #WesternBalkans? Reducing waiting time at the border by 3 hours would mean the equivalent of a 2% tariff reduction and could lead to 3% higher GDP over medium term. #StartUpWeBa #WBRER

Amazing science and technological achievement for South Africa this week! We launched the largest genomics facility in Africa, a massive investment in a building for 1000 scientists at Stellenbosch University and the mRNA vaccine transfer transfer hub with WHO.
Today, WHOβs global mRNA vaccine technology transfer Hub in #SouthAfrica has been inaugurated. The Hub will fill the gap in global vaccine supplies by providing low- and middle-income countries with equitable access to this life-saving technology. More: https://t.co/AMtIp5CFE3
