Hydrogen fuel is about 10x more energy-dense by volume than lithium-ion batteries & more than 100x more energy-dense by mass. When it comes to EVs, hydrogen fuel cells solve the problems of range anxiety and lengthy charging times. But it’s also energy-intensive to create. Not all of it is green.

There are plenty of reasons Bill Janeway is many SNS/FiRe members’ favorite speaker. As a thinker, speaker of eloquence, economist, dot connector, and we would add “historian,” he is unparalleled. On the subject of the use and abuse of machine learning – the topic of this month’s FiReSide virtual intel session on 3/25 – his advance notes include: “The potential for abuse is all the greater when the data to be analyzed has been generated from systemically biased behavior: then ML becomes ‘money laundering for bias,’ as in systems used by parole boards or in sentencing decisions.” Our second esteemed March guest is Gary Marcus, world renowned author, AI contrarian, and entrepreneur. Both will be interviewed by Strategic News Service CEO Mark Anderson. Small closing breakouts with speakers and other attendees are included for the price of $49.99 for non-members; free for SNS members: www.futureinreview.com/fireside.

TODAY! 50 years ago, Roger Payne discovered that not only do humpback whales make sounds, but they have elaborate, customized “family songs” that enable members to recognize one another’s messages across oceans. When whales talk, what do they talk about? Fast-forward to today’s talk with Dr. Payne, on the cusp of equally world-changing new horizons in our understanding of the sounds and behaviors of both toothed and baleen whales, thanks to AI - and not a small bit of scientific perseverance.

How will ethics and technology work together? What would you ask a whale? With Daniela Rus, MacArthur winner & director of MIT's Computer Science and AI Laboratory, Roger will be headlining today’s FiReSide at 4:30-6:30pm PT / 7:30-9:30p ET, interviewed by Mark Anderson, founder of Orca Relief Citizens’ Alliance and CEO of Strategic News Service. With an introductory interview with Janet Thomas, executive director of ORCA, which has already put in 20 years to get at the root of the high mortality rate of the Salish Sea’s beloved southern resident orcas.

Stay tuned to next week's SNS special report for more on how ELI's intelligence approach to global illegal trafficking of animals, fish parts, and (yes, it's all related) -- drugs and humans -- is changing the playing field of getting away with murder.

We've just had great news from (ELI) director , whose work is the subject of 2019's Featured Film, . FiReFilms members stepped up and met a 2019 challenge by member Bill Soward to match funds up to $20,000 to help save the vaquita whale from extinction in the Sea of Cortes -- and these contributions had a specific, measurable impact on their survival. You haven't heard the end of this, and related stories, coming from the alliance of FiReFilms, SNS, ELI, and others. SNS members, stay tuned for next week's Special Letter for some new landmarks, coming up not so coincidentally on Giving Day, December 1st. (We'll also share in other places.) PIctured, L-R: Andrea Crosta, Richard Ladkani, and FiReFilms CEO Sharon Anderson Morris.
