When I onboard new folks to @WRIDataLab, I describe WRI as a Grand Bazaar of ideas to help people, nature, and climate. From products with decade-long impact to cutting edge AI, it’s exciting, sometimes overwhelming, and always unique. 🧵

The "Gap Map" from @Convergent_FROs identifies hundreds of bottlenecks and capabilities, which, if addressed, could accelerate the pace of science and innovation. What if we had a FRO and ambitious startups for each one of them? See gap-map.org
