  1. Love this from @jmj. Some of the most low-hanging fruit is at the intersection of multiple fields, because people tend to go deep rather than broad. Both are important! I also like his analogy of "rock band" teams as the way to attack problems like ours at @warpsciences. https://www.newinternet.tech/p/investing-at-the-intersections
