More now from the National Competitiveness forum with the focus on Public Private partnerships and manufacturing. This is an hour and a half. Good morning, everyone. Its great to be back with the council again. So i only have half a voice, im afraid. I left the other half in stockholm a couple days ago. I was very privileged to get to attend the nobel prize ceremonies because the National Science association supported the 3 physicists that won the prize for Gravitational Waves for 40 years. I think thats a good place to start. [ applause ] its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk high reward investment is all about. So that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome. A lot of people, as you might guess, came and went. It involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity using Super Computers so we actually knew when the first gravitational wave was detected, what the source was, that it was two

And digital currency. This is just under 2 1 2 hours. Hello. Thanks for having me. My name is adam piore, and im glad to be here. Im here to talk about my book, the bodybuilders inside the science of the engineered human, and some of the trends that i reviewed. Its funny to be here, because i left d. C. I used to cover im a journalist. I used to cover capitol hill. About 20 years ago i left and said i was never coming back. And actually, i covered congress for a newspaper in new jersey, and i left in the middle of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. My job was to stand off the house floor and ask every congressman what they thought of the days news.
