(New Post). Been digging into spin-out policies of UK and European university tech transfer offices (TTOs). Tl;dr - The system is broken. Rent-seeking equity grabs, hyper-opaque IP terms, and glacial negotiations . Tiered for your reading pleasure:

(New post) Geoengineering. A quick add to the thesis repo and a refresh from a previous viewpoint. Sustainability has broadly failed and climate change isn't slowing down. It's time to build our failsafe(s).

The 4-part deep dive on @foundersfund by @thegeneralistco is an exceptional read. Highly highly recommend. But the best quote by far goes to @zebulgar:. "My Twitter filters away uncourageous communists, and it turns out uncourageous communists don’t typically generate returns.”.
