Ever wonder if compostable plastics are worth working on? If you designed a better material, what does it take for approval? UCB+MITRE+JBEI joined forces to outline everything you need to know. Fun fact: I did a FOIA request as part of our research. #openaccess authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

In the last few weeks my 9 y/o 1) got a land line to start calling her friends, 2) completed her first gig as a magician at a kindergartner's bday party. If you're worried that you'll miss how cute your kid is as a baby, don't worry. This is just a whole different level.

Have you ever wished you could assemble lots of TEAs quickly on a tech? Understand where the assumptions differed? Maybe even use them to generate a custom design for your needs drawing on prior analyses? This is what we are working on: projectpisces.org and we need YOU. Reach out to get involved.

We've had a blustery October but yesterday the bay had a kind of glassy look to it. I really never get tired of the views, in part because they're always a little different.
