Reply To: The Harmful Economics of Biofuels

I sat in there for a few months and it was too dead. I think we need some bi-monthly meet-ups per region.

Breakable, maybe you could help setup a part of the website where those interested could join a regional group (I thought about searching by profile, but most people haven’t filled out where they live). For example, if we could have a “researchers in [San Francisco]” view, I would volunteer to lead it and organize a bi-monthly meet-up in San Francisco. This would link to meetup.com, but would be promoted through focusfusion.org. The lack of communication (mostly due to the specialization of this subject and how common it is in academia) really stifles iterating on progress (startups are a great example if you’ve ever worked for one, if you haven’t checkout LEAN, agile, scrum, etc).

I think this should be promoted on the front page of this web site for a while.
Hopefully those with more status here will chime in…
