I run the Experiment Foundation and interview researchers about their ideas to make science better.
Prior to that, I co-founded Sofar (an ocean technology company), OpenROV (an underwater drone company), and Open Explorer (now Field Notes, a community of professional and amateur explorers around the world). I’ve been a member of NOAA’s Ocean Exploration Advisory Board, a TED Senior Fellow, and a National Geographic Emerging Explorer.
I run a small fast grants program on Experiment to quickly support new "ocean solutions" ideas:

I also help set up similar grants programs for other funders, like Robert Downey Jr and the FootPrint Coalition team: experiment.com/grants/scienceengine
