We should be doing our best to adapt to ever-changing external forces. How? I am reminded of astronaut Mark Watney in The Martian: “In the face of overwhelming odds, I’m left with only one option: I’m going to have to science the shit out of this.”

"There is still this phenomenal optimism. I liken it to a modern day Florence during the Medici period. People are going to look back on Silicon Valley and say more things got created in a shorter period of time than any other time in history."

"I think there are people who may not understand left brain, right brain people. If you are a highly imaginative, creative person they put you in the Willy Wonka box. They don’t understand that you can also gearshift into the kind of person who can command a team to get something done and build it and ship it."

"In short, academic institutions systemically promote exactly the sort of short-term optimization of which, ironically, the private sector is often accused. Is entrepreneurship a trap? No; right now, it's one of the only ways to avoid being trapped." Colin Percival https://lnkd.in/dVauniW #tech #innovation #founder …see more

Friends in STEM fields. Doing some research into the gender split and have a question for you (open to all to respond): What got you into STEM?

I’ve known Anu Omideyi for 30 (!) years now and not heard her sing this song before so I looked into it and found this great interview with the man himself - Stevie Wonder. “I wrote the song’s basic idea in late 1974 in my hotel room in New York, when Yolanda [Simmons] was pregnant with our daughter Aisha. I remember it was so cold outside that day. The concept I had in mind was that for love to be effective, it has to be fed. Love by itself is hollow. I recorded the song’s demo in my hotel room on a Fender Rhodes using a portable Nakamichi cassette recorder. I used to take that recorder with me everywhere, like a notebook. To this day, I never sit down and formally write songs. They emerge from the process of listening to what I’m doing on the keyboard. I just play and songs sort of happen. Like a painter, I get my inspiration from experiences that can be painful or beautiful. I always start from a feeling of profound gratitude—you know, “Only by the grace of God am I here”—and write from there. I think most songwriters are inspired by an inner voice and spirit. God gave me this gift, and this particular song was a message I was supposed to deliver.” Thank you for sharing it and your beautiful voice Anu 🙏♥️ …see more

"As I suffer from time anxiety, there are many things I didn’t start or didn’t do because I felt like it was too late. If I could go back in time, I would tell a younger Anne-Laure that it’s never too late to get started. The best time is now."
