Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

"There's a devastatingly short window during which you are your child's entire world. Don't blink and miss it." - @SahilBloom WOW does that hit hard Look at the graph below. I'm 37. My kids are 5 and 3. Enjoying every second. And this is a great reminder! (h/t @MarketPalmer_)

The good ole days… Kids these days just won’t understand… 🥺

Reminder: this is still the greatest ad ever made.

Governor Shapiro is doing a wonderful thing. Giving kids longer recess is so important, and so few leaders are talking about it. Combined with phone free schools, PA students will be more engaged in school than they were before. Bravo @GovernorShapiro

The best thing we can do for our kids right now is to just let them be kids. Kids are getting cell phones sooner than any generation before them, screen times are up while real human connection is down, and foundational skills aren’t being taught enough these days. We need to take a step back. It’s why I just signed a bipartisan bill into law, requiring cursive handwriting to once again be taught in PA public schools. It’s also why I’ve called on the legislature to pass a bill requiring schools to both implement a bell-to-bell cell phone ban and guarantee recess for every Pennsylvania student.  Let’s continue our work to set young people on a path to success — and let our kids be kids.

dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it

There should be a college lacrosse game on every hour all Saturday instead of 16 at noon

"There are dozens of us ... DOZENS!"

What a beautiful thing to say and how lucky we might be to have parents who believe in us.

Did you know that when you shop at places like Costco, Target, Walmart, and Kroger you’re buying produce coated in a variety of different chemical solutions? Fresh food travels thousands of miles, crosses borders, sits in storage, and waits on shelves before it reaches your plate. On average your apples are 9 months old by the time you get to enjoy them. Without post-harvest protection, most food would rot before you ever had the chance to buy it. Access would become an even larger issue than it already is, affordability would be nonexistent, and “fresh produce” would become a luxury good overnight. For decades, legacy systems have coated fruits and vegetables in synthetic fungicides, petroleum-based waxes, and chemical preservatives. It “works” operationally, but it was built in a different era that prioritized durability over health and transparency which were never really brought into the conversation. Most people don’t know why coatings like this even exist, and definitely not what’s in them. Post-harvest protection was invisible, normalized, and largely unquestioned. I came into building in the food system by asking a different question. If food needs protection, why are we protecting it with synthetic chemicals instead of plant-based materials? Why not use compounds that already exist in nature? Materials our bodies and ecosystems already understand? That idea led to developing a plant-based solution that extends shelf life using food, not toxic inputs. And it challenged an industry that hadn’t been meaningfully challenged for generations. The response wasn’t just skepticism. It included coordinated efforts to discredit the technology and shut down adoption. Rumors, a coordinated disinformation campaign against us, bad actors in the background. And to this day, we still don’t fully know who orchestrated parts of it. Even still… Produce does need protection if we envision a more accessible, affordable, and less wasteful future. That will never change and the choice isn’t protection or no protection — it’s what kind of protection we use. The future of food depends on moving away from outdated chemical coatings and toward plant-based alternatives. Food protecting food. Apeel forever.

Your fruit is rusting. As you read this, molecules in the air are eating through its nutritional value. It’s the same process that ruins cast iron cookware. But materials scientists figured out a clever solution to prevent rust. You know it as “stainless”. Stainless steel doesn’t rust because its surface is covered by a thin protective coating. It’s the same steel, but the molecules in the air can’t get to it. As I spent more time with the idea of Apeel, I remembered back to my undergraduate days at @CarnegieMellon , where we studied steel. I wondered if the same strategy could stop fruit from rusting. But there was one big difference… we’d have to figure out how to make the protective coating out of food.

A powerful thread on edtech and educational outcomes: "once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly." from Jared Cooney Horvath. Watch the videos

I used to be a scientist. My entire life had been shaped by mentors and academic environments that rewarded curiosity. Asking questions. Pulling threads. Going deeper. As a materials scientist, that curiosity intensified. I spent years doing the unglamorous work of understanding how small changes in materials could solve very big problems. That work eventually led me to discover that the way we were feeding people was deeply flawed. Legacy solutions were effective only because they were aggressive—waxes, synthetic chemicals, treatments no one talked about. I started asking a simple question. What if we could protect food with food? That question became the foundation for the company I spent the next decade building. A plant-based solution to slow spoilage that wasn’t only more effective, but fundamentally safe because its only ingredient was food. Early on, I remember talking to my mom about what I was building. She paused and said, very lovingly, “But sweetie… you don’t know anything about produce.” She was right. But that was then. What’s funny is that as I went deeper, I found out almost no one in the industry really knew what was on produce- what it’s treated with, what’s added, what’s being hidden. Not the retailers and not even the people growing it. Today, I know more about produce than anyone would ever want to know. And what I believe now is simple: people deserve to know what’s on their food. If they did, they’d understand why plant-protected produce is the future. They’d believe.
