Our inaugural issue is built around SF Climate Week and our first live podcast taping — Water / MOF at the Yaghi Lab. This issue maps the water-climate research landscape, the founders trying to scale it, and the gap between what the science can do and what the market is actually funding.
Plain English coverage of one or two research findings relevant to the episode — what was actually found, what it means for anyone building in that space, and what the paper doesn’t say.
The newsletter goes behind the episode conversation — what they actually disagreed on, what the founder really thinks about the science, and what question opened something up rather than closed it down.
A map of the sector at the moment the episode drops — early-stage companies, university spinouts, and labs that aren’t getting written about yet. Who’s early, who’s close, what’s unfunded.
One thing getting more attention than the science warrants. One thing getting less. Short and opinionated — honest about the gap between what the research says and what the pitch deck says.
