The WEI recently released their list of top 10 emerging technologies - the criteria consisting of new tech that could make an impact within the next 3-5 years (hence no fusion). The list is heavily tilted, not surprisingly, to information technology and biology:

1 Flexible batteries
2 Generative artificial intelligence
3 Sustainable aviation fuel
4 Designer phages
5 Metaverse for mental health
6 Wearable plant sensors
7 Spatial omics
8 Flexible neural electronics
9 Sustainable computing
10 AI-facilitated healthcare

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
