This is so true. It is also very important to cultivate an open mindset without judgement. When I was in engineering school many years ago I already learned to appreciate the students who came through the VET pathway. They were amazing.

It is surprising how Swiss regulations don’t support electric vehicles. I just read an article on the Microlino, the little Swiss EV.🚗🇨🇭
Microlino’s story really showcases how regulations stifle production and import of efficient electric vehicles both in Switzerland & Europe.

Really awesome applied science. This technology may also positively affect the gut microbiome. Win win.

Really interesting! A bit of parallel with herbal medicine where vinegar is an excellent “vehicle” for extracting active ingredients of herbs. 🪴☺️
