This is the first time I've ever seen a panel speaker teleport themselves to a conference as a hologram and I imagine...it won't be my last. #metabeat2022 #metaverse
Richard Kerris, @nvidia on digital twins, imagine earth 2, creating interactive AI simulations in real time using physics, ML & the metaverse to reflect the real world. Would we ever build the opposite? a physical representation of say, Decentraland to create full twin immersion

This is a paradigm shift. It's not just gamers and teens in Roblox. You're seeing 45 - 50 year olds and they're not playing games. They're buying wine. evinco.wine/.

Curious on @JarrodBarnes provocation on the idea of interoperability in the metaverse, an analogous scenario, if I could only wear this sweater in San Francisco, nowhere else, it would significantly decrease in value & yet this is how we think of assets in the metaverse.
Thinking about turning your health data into an NFT, imagine knowing who accesses your data, where that data goes & commercializing the data bc whether we know it or not, that data is already being tapped into & commercialized. Imagine using web3 so you’re in control. #Metaverse
panel fr: AtlasEarth, Mastercard & Honey, the metaverse is creating a virtuous cycle, an ecosystem, a new frictionless payment experience & it introduces both new products & new ways of banking, 60% of folks in the metaverse don't even have a credit card. #unbanked #metaverse
What better way to kick off a metaverse conference than with a host made completely from real time conversational AI #Metaverse

My cup is full after an afternoon introducing students interested in STEM to my new world at Intuit. What began w/ @GirlsWhoCode then grew to including other students of color interested in tech. #STEMeducation #diversityequityinclusion "bravery, not perfection" (Reshma Saujani)

It's been a little over a year since I've left the ed tech space & the power of stories will always be at the heart of my design work, amplifying the stories we don't normally hear. Proud to work at a place that makes this happen, everyday. youtube.com/watch?v=JPuswrN0… #designthinking

You can’t be what you can’t see. 👏 More and more women are breaking the glass ceiling in the AI industry and are getting one step closer to closing the gender gap in tech. concordia.ca/news/stories/20…

My wife didn't know @DrIbram wrote a children's book and she's buying it now for our kids. So... thanks for the book recommendation @tedcruz

The metaverse hits the edu space. Not an issue of "if" but an issue of "when". Love that @thetechrabbi took this leap forward > getrevue.co/profile/k20Educa…

When I think about the power of storytelling, this comes to mind. No fancy tech, it's literally a projector that you see here in this photo. It's such a craft to carefully form that relationship with the audience. youtube.com/watch?v=H8Fwe_sa…

When tiktok meets crypto and blockchain: youtube.com/watch?v=F8ReysNn… . What exactly is defi? "For many generation Z and millennial users, TikTok is their first and only source of education on money matters." #womenintech

Promoting more brown voices. Amplifying and sharing stories we can all relate to. And you get a cool hat. seedandspark.com/fund/velvet…

The power of widespread storytelling. "... potential to disrupt traditional ways of thinking about STEM and lifting up communities.They are still gathering stories too, click if you're interested! theuncommission.org/announce…
When people ask about my shift from edu to tech, it's hard to explain. This frames it, "we're not in the business of events. We're not even in the business of experiences, for that matter. We're shifting mindsets/behaviors, people learn by doing." experiencewelcome.com/blog/l…
