Elon Musk has had inappropriate relationships with SpaceX employees. Tesla shareholders knew that, and chose to reward him with a massive payday anyway. @wsj's @joe_palazzolo and @Verge’s @andyjayhawk explain. open.spotify.com/episode/0gQ…

If anyone is wondering starting a #BikeBus as a parent is harder than starting it as a teacher.

Other R&D projects like DARPA have produced huge, world-changing technologies, like GPS tracking, autonomous vehicles, and the entire freaking internet. Oh, and mRNA vaccines, which eventually led to the covid-19 vaccine.

I wrote about this new government-funded skunkworks project for infrastructure call ARPA-I, and how it could lead to new innovations, like self-healing potholes and bridges that last for 500 years theverge.com/2023/6/13/23758…

In an interview, @SecretaryPete said ARPA-I is about giving researchers and academics the space to try crazy new ideas. Most will fail, but the ideas that succeed could be a game-changer.

This story was *a blast* to report. A few s/o's: @andyjayhawk for looping me into Montclair; Brittainy and Anthony for amazing art; Hilary Howard for swift/great edits; Chris Roberti for PS 110 and Emily Stutts for Bergen; and all the families that I spoke to. Also: bikes.

Bike buses β€” an adult-led kids ride to school that centers joy, physical activity and street safety β€” are popping up across the tristate. And I had the chance to ride a few of them in this latest piece for @NYTMetro. nytimes.com/2023/06/06/nyreg…
