I know my answer. What's yours? 🤔
Replying to @CityTech_
By what year do you think the majority of shared rides will be #Autonomous?
Love this project <3
That's a wrap on the first semester of our partnership with the @thisisUIC Innovation Center, sponsored by @boschusa @MSFTChicago and @here! 🎉🥳 Students presented the final projects that will be narrowed for prototyping in January. citytech.org/city-tech-colla…

I've found myself rambling about freight (mostly issues re:congestion) to strangers at bars more and more frequently. This article is slightly more effective and has primed me for Thanksgiving table talk. planning.org/planning/2019/n…

Urban heat islands are a growing problem for communities. We teamed up with @CityTech_ @Microsoft #d3iSystems, and @ChicagoDoIT to create a tool that will make urban heat data more accessible to planners. Learn more: ow.ly/lqlU50xhnpo #Climate

Funday Mondays are very rare. This was a good one :)
The #Thunderbots are visiting from Iowa! Just like City Tech, they define a real-world problem and create a solution...except the Thunderbots make theirs out of LEGOS! What's the coolest thing you've ever built with Legos? @firstlegoleague #STEM #STEMeducation #Robotics #tech

Street typologies need to safely support all the modes a city offers - if scooters stay in Chicago, I hope to see a plan to make our roads better accommodate them.
The city of Atlanta is proposing a two-year, $5-million plan to incorporate enhanced safety designs to the streets which will improve safety for pedestrians, drivers, transit riders, bike riders and e-scooter riders. ow.ly/TGF150wsp9w

Tomorrow, I'll be representing City Tech Collaborative as a mentor for the 2019 @uicsise Fellows. Excited to meet the #bestnerdsonearth, hear their ideas, and share a few things I've learned... like, collaboration strategies or how ice cubes can remove red wine stains...
