IIT Bombay team inspecting road concretisation work in Mumbai last night. 🚨 IIT Bombay is the third party quality monitoring agency appointed by the BMC for nearly 700 kilometers of road concretisation work undertaken by the corporation. As per BMC, "the IIT Bombay team provided insights on tests to be conducted during concreting and suggested site-specific measures based on weather conditions and temperature changes. They recommended precise execution of groove cutting within 8 to 12 hours after concreting and discussed the appropriate use of mobile apps to study humidity, wind direction, and speed during the process. They also advised on improving concrete curing methods and demonstrated proper surface brooming techniques to skilled workers at the site."

.Community Notes: During their presentation to Mexico's Congress, the presenters refuted the specific claims mentioned in your community note. It remains uncertain whether this is a hoax or genuine, but based on the articles referenced, it appears that the author of the community note cannot be certain "This is a hoax and fraud." The presenters explained that their analysis was conducted in collaboration with a list of scientific laboratories and universities, whereas the articles you cited relied on input from archaeologists and scientists who never physically examined, analyzed, or observed the corpses. "In 2017, some archeologists and other professionals who call themselves scientists denounced fraud in the manufacturing of the bodies with the remains of other animals and told the public that someone mutilated the hands and feet and cut out the eye sockets to give it an alien appearance." "Do you know how many analyses? How many samples were taken? How many studies these scientists did on the bodies before making their diagnosis?" "Zero." Additionally, the presenters assert that they have made the genetics and other data available in an online repository for other scientists to review and analyze. In my opinion, the author of the community note cannot definitively label this as a 'hoax' or 'fraud' based on the claims made by archaeologists and scientists who never physically examined the bodies. I will link to a more detailed thread on the topic below.

Let me tell a short story with date, David Hundeyin 2017: Tony Elumelu gave grant to Mohamed Dhaouafi, a young Tunisian, and founder of Cure Bionics. He received the $5,000 seed grant plus training/mentorship under the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme. His company develops affordable, 3D-printed, solar-powered bionic arms/prosthetics aimed at amputees, especially in Africa, making them lighter, more customizable, and far cheaper than traditional options. 2023: Tony Elumelu Foundation takes Dhaouafi to Davos, to showcase to the WEF. It was largely celebrated, novel to them, everyone talked about it. They were highly fascinated by it. 2026: WEF is promoting Prosthetic Limbs innovation through her own organization called, Center for Frontier Technologies and Innovation, and another organization called 3DP4ME. Nothing to see here. Sic.

Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham reveals sperm counts are on track to hit zero by 2045. "In 20 to 25 years the average young couple will need help getting pregnant." He says hunter-gatherers had 118 million units per milliliter. Today the number is 35. "It means half the male population will have zero viable sperm and the remaining half will be right on the edge of functional infertility." He blames plastics and endocrine disruptors leaching into our bodies every single day. The World Health Organization already says 17 percent of young couples need help conceiving right now. P.S.

Before the holiday break, I practiced my Moon 🌖 landing skills for a neuroscience experiment at NASA's Johnson Space Center. I’ll do these sessions before my launch, while on International Space Station, and after returning to Earth 🌍 to better understand the effects of gravitational transitions on an astronauts ability to land on the Moon. More science details below. —————————————————The Manual Piloting study aims to assess the performance of astronauts during simulated lunar landings and to clarify how gravitational transitions may affect piloting capabilities and decision-making. Before, during, and right after their missions, astronauts will complete laptop simulations designed to test their ability to land a virtual spacecraft on the Moon. Cognitive, balance, and others tests conducted during those same times will also help scientists understand how changes in gravity may affect the piloting performance of crew members. Results from this work will allow NASA to create strategies geared toward helping pilots on future exploration missions. This work may also support safety on Earth by improving our understanding of how dizziness and sensory impairments could affect the ability to drive vehicles.

.Farhaj Mayan on the three reasons why to build on Solana: "Solana is the first successful implementation of forking San Francisco's culture and capital to the internet. If you don't live in America or the UK and you want to build a business on the internet, Solana's global community is the easiest way to meet interesting people with the same level of ambition." "There's no favoritism in Solana. It's the clearest form of a meritocracy that could exist. You can find capital, you can find talent, and you can find community to break out of your local maxima and enter the global maxima." "An ecosystem's grit is tested by how people show up during the lows. There's no pillagers with pitchforks vibes. It's villagers who care for you vibes. As a founder, it has created a safe place to fail."

Announcing: DePIN Summit Africa in Kenya and Tanzania in July 2025 Hosting DePIN Summit has been one of my favorite highlights of building Escape Velocity over the past few years. DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, use crypto to scale critical infrastructure like wireless, electricity, or compute in a peer-to-peer manner. By cutting out the middle-man, DePINs provide cheaper and more reliable services than the current incumbents. In other words, DePIN is all about putting power back into the hands of users. 2023's Summit showed that DePIN is a MOVEMENT: for the very first time, 100+ DePIN founders and investors sat in the same room, in Menlo Park, all with a shared vision for the future of what decentralized infrastructure networks will become. 2024's Summit showed that DePIN is INEVITABLE: with more than 350 founders, investors, and operators coming together on a summer Saturday, in NYC, to discuss humanity’s urgent need for digital infrastructure networks that can scale to serve exponentially-growing demand decades in the future. In July 2025, DePIN Summit Africa will show that DePIN is GLOBAL by bringing the community together in Mombasa, Kenya and Zanzibar, Tanzania. We are excited to be collaborating with our on-the-ground partners SHARE and ThreeFold to make the event truly special, bringing together DePIN entrepreneurs and investors from abroad, alongside local industry and government leaders who are eager to understand how DePIN can serve their communities. DePIN has been mostly a US-based phenomenon to date, by almost any metric you can pick: number of projects, total capital raised, etc. A few protocols are bucking the trend and showing how DePIN can serve users in emerging markets: for example, local ISPs in Ghana are using DAWN to provide internet services, one of the largest telcos in Mexico is offloading its customers traffic onto Helium🎈, and grid-scale solar farms in India are mining on Glow Foundation. But by and large, DePIN activity is focused on developed markets, and specifically the US.... DePIN in the US is a huge opportunity, but it’s not the only one! Emerging markets are a different ballgame: the end-user demand for more reliable, performant, scalable digital infrastructure in growing economies is enormous across virtually every sector of DePIN: wireless, energy, compute, sensors, logistics, identity, etc. In East Africa, consumers spend 10-20% of their monthly income on internet service for only 3-4 GB of capacity. The user behaviors, unit economics, and regulatory hurdles are fundamentally different than other markets. With DePIN Summit Africa 2025, we hope to bridge that gap and help plant the seeds for DePIN to expand its reach globally, and specifically into East Africa going forward. We’re excited to be joined by headline speakers including: - Kristof De Spiegeleer, co-founder of ThreeFold's decentralized cloud computing network - Neil Chatterjee, co-founder of DAWN's decentralized fixed wireless internet - Jose Aycart, co-founder of SHARE's decentralized internet and compute infrastructure - Alireza Ghods, co-founder of NATIX Network's decentralized digital mapping network - Robin Wingardh, co-founder of wingbits's decentralized flight tracking to Africa - Fredrik Ahlgren, co-founder Sourceful Energy ⚡️'s decentralized virtual power plants - Raullen Chai, co-founder of IoTeX's modular DePIN L1 and development platform If you’d like to join us and help accelerate the growth of DePIN in emerging markets, please apply below 👇

NEW: Activists Continue Target Boycott Until Corporation Brings Back DEI After boycotting Target for Black History Month, activists and residents in Minnesota are continuing that boycott indefinitely until the corporation brings back their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs. During a protest at Target’s downtown Minneapolis corporate office on Feb. 27, speakers called for a “buycott” of Black businesses, advocated for picketing outside of Target stores and vowed to not shop at Target. “We want to make sure that we’re holding Target, in our community, accountable for the promises that they made following George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police,” said Monique Cullars-Doty, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Minnesota and Black Lives Matter Twin Cities.
