Started learning in public
October update.
tldr: started a substack newsletter and published two articles.
This month I started a newsletter called Academia in Review. Below is an excerpt from the newsletter.
The Academia in Review newsletter covers topics ranging from emerging technologies, how to find mentors to speed up learning, mental models, real-world skills, and how to create innovative solutions. The goal is to answer one simple question: what does it take to become someone that solves the world’s biggest challenges?
I believe that it is possible to take anyone at any age and teach them the tools that will allow them to create scalable solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. In order to accomplish this, we will explore curriculums from places like MIT, Harvard, and Astra Nova. Explore how to pull aspects from environments like silicon valley and apply them to our personal lives.
I am currently working on learning the basics of a few emerging technologies. Then plan on doing a deep dive into one or two of them. Right now this includes learning the fundamentals of chemistry and physics so I can better understand nanotechnology. I published two articles this month.
In conjunction with learning about emerging tech, I'm working on building out my practical skills. October will include building a mockup for a web-app idea that I will then conduct user research on.
