Everytime I see a new Climate Tech startup, I get fired up. There are so many questions I could ask because of my interest in materials science. But I remind myself, the point is not to show off technical knowledge for the sake of academic discussion but to ask the right questions to understand the problem, solution, and market. We do need new 'novel' materials and researchers to push the boundaries of science in the case that they are able to make the key breakthrough needed! However, we must not put all our eggs in one basket. As such, we need more people working to commercialise technologies for sustainability

Here I was at a Climate Tech pitch event organised by the Oxford Entrepreneurs Network in London:
