The research, prototypes, product releases, and general momentum of the community have jumped an intensity level recently, and we are here for it!
Much of this is due to GftW grantees getting deeper into the work but it also speaks to an overall advancement of this technology and how to use it. This week we are highlighting some of what is that fast-growing body of collective knowledge.
