After decades in thrall to the car, local developers and legislators are beginning to rethink parking and the role it should play in the city. 

While reporters and commentators struggled to understand why 73,000 would choose to isolate — and unintentionally strand — themselves in the desert, Burners lived out the experiment Black Rock City was built for. 

The well-preserved, semi-ghost Placer County town of Dutch Flat, an hour drive east of Sacramento in the Sierra Nevada foothills, has earned the description of being “a step back in time,” as local hotelier Leif Lowery described it.

There is nothing more rewarding than creating and implementing a plan to fix a broken process — before being asked to do so. It changes everything because the leader is using her creative fuel instead of being told what to do.

Nasal and sinus problems can be tricky and costly to diagnose. Based on a hardware prototype developed at Stanford University, Scopi Medical aims to solve both problems with the first AI-enabled portable nasal endoscope for diagnosis at the point of care.
