The document summarizes research conducted to understand public interest and engagement with emerging technology. Interviews and surveys found that people prefer interactive exhibits and want to understand how technology can benefit ordinary people. A visitor from London said technology needs to be designed for ordinary users, not just make entrepreneurs famous or rich. The researchers also learned that people are willing to contribute to causes they believe in and support research they find meaningful. Their next steps are to create a pop-up event, interview citizen scientists, and look for supporters and advocates of citizen science programs.

The document discusses ideas for new types of museums focused on science, technology, and media. It considers business models for an exploratorium museum focused on science experiments and interactive exhibits. It also analyzes models for Distill.pub, a site for publishing interactive research papers, and for SPACE10, a design and technology lab. The current model of traditional museums has high maintenance costs. New models could generate revenue through corporate memberships, paid events, or online content if there is interest from relevant audiences. Next steps include getting feedback from museum visitors and staff on potential new exhibit experiences.

The document discusses creating a platform that brings together scientists, researchers, and the general public. It notes that scientists struggle to share their research findings while the public wants to learn about new technologies. The platform would provide interactive exhibitions, talks, and workspaces to help address this problem and bridge this gap. Financial data is presented on relevant industries like incubators, museums, and research and development to assess the potential size and scope of the new platform. Feedback is solicited on the concept.

Market Lessons LearnedWeiwei Hsu

The document discusses challenges with long-term research funding and potential solutions. It notes that shareholders demand short-term returns, which discourages long-term research investments. Additionally, grants often require short-term objectives. However, some large tech companies invest heavily in research by issuing two classes of stock to maintain control and invest in "moonshot" projects despite investor pressure. While crowdfunding is proposed as a solution, it is deemed not viable due to lack of public interest and emphasis on short-term results.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow

��

Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits. To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups. Technology For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did. While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis. Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad. Age and Gender When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same. Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers. Race Affects Attitudes As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
