News in #womenshealth. Seattle menopause startup @MyGennev was just acquired by United Women's Healthcare. CEO Jill Angelo predicts more women's health mergers will follow, bolstering a significantly underserved -- and valuable -- sector. https://t.co/6lNeOvTnnV via @GeekWire

I'd opt to herd cats over U.S. senators any day. Here's how @SenatorCantwell managed to corral bipartisan support for the CHIPS Act, in part by holding classified briefings in secure information rooms called SCIFs (pronounced skiffs).https://t.co/MB4J1ORDiS via @GeekWire

Wow. This was a discouraging, illuminating piece. https://t.co/cPoOprIE25

What's the story with Seattle's weird fall weather? I talked to @NWSSeattle and the Wash. state climatologist and @UW researcher to find out. https://t.co/9RizT0Xn4z via @GeekWire

RT @SenatorCantwell: I was thrilled to join this year's GeekWire Summit to talk about how we’re boosting the future of U.S. innovation with…

Here's a trend I like: smart tech folks applying their chops to climate tech. In this case, a Microsoft "lifer" launching an EV charging startup. https://t.co/YkAhGFEjMZ via @GeekWire @vertuelab #EVs

Wildfires are awful. Maybe there's comfort in startup @DroneSeed, which is using drones, LIDAR & other tech to make reforestation faster & more efficient. Co. has funding from @Benioff, @tobi, @socialcapital, @sevensevensix. https://t.co/hdi6X8Oi16 via @GeekWire #reforestation

The hook for this story: a simulated whale gut for testing plastics. The real impact: raising awareness about the gnarliness of single-use plastics and the need to develop biodegradable, marine-safe alternatives. https://t.co/XfmbrX7pbp via @GeekWire @SeattleAquarium @TOMFORD

I'm fascinated by nuclear power. My dad worked at the Hanford site in the 1960s and it's interesting to see the sector's resurgence. I chatted w/ @TerraPower's CFO to hear what's working & what challenges they face. https://t.co/ilkNZuBZYO via @GeekWire @BillGates #NuclearEnergy

It's so cool when researchers harness our bodies' own tiny biomachines to improve health. Seattle's @immusoft is attempting just that with B cells to treat rare genetic diseases. They've received FDA approval for clinical trials.https://t.co/dt5dvuV70y via @GeekWire #GeneTherapy

Hydrogen fuel will be a key player in solving the climate crisis -- do you understand how it works?! I break down the tech and the many inroads that hydrogen has already made in the PacNW. https://t.co/5kVZgX80PQ via @GeekWire @WAStateCommerce @PNNLab @WSUNews #cleanenergy

Can you use AI to optimize greenhouse operations a continent away? Award winning lettuces suggest the answer is a solid yes. https://t.co/omx4BUbN66 via @GeekWire @KoidraInc @Microsoft #agtech

I admit to being skeptical when someone tells me tech is helping fix homelessness. So it was super interesting to learn about the powerful use of data analysis by @AWayHomeWA to aid the state's youth. @tableau https://t.co/69HaiBWDDx via @GeekWire

My elderly dad recently began requiring in-home care, I was shocked at the absence of online resources. There are a lot of old olds - who is meeting their needs? Will @PivotalVentures and partners be able to make a difference? https://t.co/zpckmr2NJF via @GeekWire

It was an honor to share @tomalberg's story via GeekWire following his death at age 82. https://t.co/6MvoGEQSmL via @GeekWire

There is something interesting about @Microsoft serving as a guinea pig test subject for new climate tech, in this case it's hydrogen fuel cells powering data centers. https://t.co/7D6V3G5UZA via @GeekWire

OR startup The Cool Down wants to stoke interest in climate by creating first U.S. "mainstream climate brand.” While policy is a more important lever, it focuses on consumers, which co-founders say is a smart strategy to build engagement. https://t.co/fDSQxV7eUn via @GeekWire
