After work, my buddies from FIRST in VT met up at Zero Gravity to meet up with our friend and hero Emily.. It was a great meeting..
This morning was the last session of the FOE conference. we had a session on electric flight and advanced air mobility.. the technology part was ok.. but what I found most interesting were the comments of the guy who is an economist.. He took a global oook at the cost of decarbonizing aviation.. as well as the cost of not decarbonizing. It was an amazing talk !
then headed home. Its been such a great experience being at this conference. .
Getting time to talk with Ruchir has certainly been a hilight !
Another great day of talks at the FOE conference. I’m really learning a ton and enjoying meeting all these very smart people. At the end of the conference, we got tours of soem of the research facilities at Penn who are our hosts this week. ..
