CEO Picks - The best that international journalism has to offer!  S13Why scientists think the Multiverse isn't just fiction   Everywhere we look in the Universe, we see many examples of objects that are similar, but each one is unique. Of all the galaxies, stars, and planets we know of, no two are identical, but rather each one has its own unique history, properties, and composition. Yet it’s a compelling idea that, given enough Universe to work with, eventually the particles within it would have organized themselves in such a way that the same possibility — no matter how unlikely — occurs multiple different times. Perhaps, given the idea of an infinite Universe, there may even be an infinite number of copies of every single system we can imagine, including planet Earth, complete with each and every one of us living on it.It’s this idea, that there might be an infinite number of copies of each one of us out there, somewhere, that gave rise to our modern notion of the Multiverse. Perhaps there are different versions of us out there, where one tiny decision, outcome, or even a quantum measurement led to a vastly different result down the road. While many have derided the Multiverse as a fundamentally unscientific idea — as, after all, there’s no way to see, test, or access information about any portion of the cosmos beyond our limited observable Universe — the fact is that the Multiverse’s very existence is rooted in science itself. In fact, if just two things are true:

S12The hunt is on to learn why bowel cancer in young people is rising - New Scientist (No paywall)  The number of people under 50 diagnosed with bowel cancer has been going up for three decades. In the UK, for instance, there has been about a 50 per cent rise in these tumours in people aged 25 to 49 over this period, with similar trends in the US, Canada, Australia and several European countries.Another important cohort will be the Danish Newborn Screening Biobank, which contains a dried spot of blood from virtually all babies born in Denmark since 1982, with nearly 2 million samples. This will let researchers see if anything we are exposed to in the uterus is linked with higher bowel cancer risk.

S11How to Build a Broader Network within Your Company - Harvard Business Review (No paywall)  Professional relationships, like all interpersonal connections, tend to form between individuals who are similar to each other. And having a fixed belief that relationships tend to develop spontaneously can inhibit one from reaching out and building diverse relationships. A study indicates that embracing a growth mindset — believing that relationships can be cultivated through effort — can pave the way for boundary spanning networks. These networks are critical for fostering innovation and creativity. According to the researchers, the key lies in changing one’s perspective on relationship building.When we ask groups of executives if their organizations have become more or less diverse in thought over the last several years, the answer is often unanimous. In one way or another, nearly everyone has witnessed an increase in divergent attitudes, perspectives, and values in the workplace — welcome news given decades of research showing that this type of diversity can foster innovation, creativity, and productivity in organizations.

S14A leader's guide to the chaotic reality of leadership  Up-and-coming leaders often look to role models for guidance. The stories of established business people can offer assurance during troubling times and strategies for the innumerable challenges any leader must face. Sometimes, though, the image of success can obscure the truth of leadership and create misleading takeaways.Consider, for instance, those leaders who seem to have all the answers all the time. They move from triumph to triumph effortlessly. They command the stage with their presence, light up the room with their charm, and always have a witty retort at the ready. Heck, they don’t even seem to have bad hair days!

S18New Study: Investors Care About Employee Engagement, Too  Nearly nine in 10 investors consider workforce engagement a key performance driver for companies they fund, according to a new global study from the consulting firm Mercer. The report goes so far as to say, "fostering a climate of trust and fairness is the most important factor in building true, sustainable value over the next five years."The importance of the employee experience is not lost on company leaders, either, as HR executives in the Mercer study identified it as their top priority this year. And yet, employee engagement in the U.S. has dropped from its 2020 height of 36 percent to around one third in 2023, according to a recent report from Gallup.Â

S29Put Marketing at the Core of Your Growth Strategy  Companies that make the decision to put marketing at the core of their growth strategy outperform the competition, according to McKinsey research. Specifically, both B2C and B2B companies who view branding and advertising as a top two growth strategy are twice as likely to see revenue growth of 5% or more than those that don’t (67% to 33%). Yet their research also showed that few CEOs recognize the potential for marketing as a growth accelerator. They recommend three actions for CEOs to hit the reset button. The first is to define what you need from marketing. While it sounds obvious, their research found that more than half the time CEOs and CMOs in the same company were misaligned on marketing’s primary role. Second, nominate one person to serve as the chief voice of the customer. In two many organizations this is fragmented, and when everyone owns the customer, then no one does. Third, the CEO should function as a growth coach. They should have a handle on the challenges and opportunities of modern marketing, but their job is to draw up the strategy, not toss the ball down the field.

S17The Single Biggest Mistake Crushing Your Company  My co-founder and I built BottleKeeper, an e-commerce brand, from $0 to $8,000,000 in three years with no employees, investors, or debt. We were acquired with just four team members as an eight-figure revenue company. Now, that is an "after the fact" sound bite that was nearly a decade of struggle and almost came to a catastrophic end on countless occasions.Yes, we made a lot of mistakes at BottleKeeper, but we also built a healthy business that was efficient and profitable. This wasn't an accident, it was intentional. Now I can share hard-earned lessons to help other early-stage operators and e-commerce entrepreneurs achieve outweighed results.

S20How Biden and Trump Match Up Across 6 Core Business Issues  With less than eight months from Election Day, and the field narrowed down to two main candidates: President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, you might be wondering where they fall on core business issues.Biden's take: Biden signed a first-of-its-kind executive order late last year to begin the process of regulating artificial intelligence that focuses on making AI safe, secure, and trustworthy. The gist is to initialize guardrails for the novel technology as it evolves, while also allowing the U.S. to maintain a competitive edge over other countries. The president is examining AI's impact on the American worker amid concerns of widespread workforce displacement and has also laid out guidelines for companies to tag AI-generated content.

S415 Years After San Francisco Banned Face Recognition, Voters Ask for More Surveillance ![]() San Francisco made history in 2019 when its Board of Supervisors voted to ban city agencies including the police department from using face recognition. About two dozen other US cities have since followed suit. But on Tuesday, San Francisco voters appeared to turn against the idea of restricting police technology, backing a ballot proposition that will make it easier for city police to deploy drones and other surveillance tools.Proposition E passed with 60 percent of the vote and was backed by San Francisco mayor London Breed. It gives the San Francisco Police Department new freedom to install public security cameras and deploy drones without oversight from the city's Police Commission or Board of Supervisors. It also loosens a requirement that SFPD get clearance from the Board of Supervisors before adopting new surveillance technology, allowing approval to be sought any time within the first year.

S31This cab startup helped 100,000 drivers survive Sri Lanka's economic crisis  It was early 2023 when Jayarathne realized that his grocery shop in Galle, a windswept beach town about two hours south of Colombo, was not profitable. As the sole breadwinner in his family, with two school-going sons, Jayarathne decided to sell his business and sign up to work as a tuk-tuk driver for PickMe, a homegrown company that has become Sri Lanka’s largest ride-hailing and food delivery platform.Every day, on his motorized three-wheeler, Jayarathne would ferry the hordes of tourists who flocked to the town. “Fuel was expensive but some days I would earn 5,000 rupees [$16],” he told Rest of World, requesting to be identified only by his last name as he feared repercussions for participating in the story. “It was okay for a while.”

S33Scientists Are Inching Closer to Bringing Back the Woolly Mammoth ![]() De-extinction startup Colossal Biosciences wants to bring back the woolly mammoth. Well, not the woolly mammoth exactly, but an Asian elephant gene-edited to give it the fuzzy hair and layer of blubber that allowed its close relative to thrive in sub-zero environments.To get to these so-called "functional mammoths," Colossal's scientists need to solve a whole bunch of challenges: making the right genetic tweaks, growing edited cells into fully formed baby functional mammoths, and finding a space where these animals can thrive. It's a long, uncertain road, but the startup has just announced a small breakthrough that should ease some of the way forward.

S36Cities Aren't Prepared for a Crucial Part of Sea-Level Rise: They're Also Sinking ![]() Fighting off rising seas without reducing humanityâÂÂs carbon emissions is like trying to drain a bathtub without turning off the tap. But increasingly, scientists are sounding the alarm on yet another problem compounding the crisis for coastal cities: Their land is also sinking, a phenomenon known as subsidence. The metaphorical tap is still onâÂÂas rapid warming turns more and more polar ice into ocean waterâÂÂand at the same time the tub is sinking into the floor.An alarming new study in the journal Nature shows how bad the problem could get in 32 coastal cities in the United States. Previous projections have studied geocentric sea-level rise, or how much the ocean is coming up along a given coastline. This new research considers relative sea-level rise, which also includes the vertical motion of the land. ThatâÂÂs possible thanks to new data from satellites that can measure elevation changes on very fine scales along coastlines.

S43Methane: the tricky hunt for hidden emissions  The team behind the world's most advanced methane-monitoring satellite, MethaneSat, are keen on metaphors about cleaning. "About the size of a washing machine," was how environmental scientist Steven Wofsy, described the orbiting object at a press conference ahead of its launch. "Like a push-broom," was his phrase for its capacity to scan the surface of the Earth.The metaphors are apt. Methane is a particularly dirty greenhouse gas, driving about 30% of the heating the planet has experienced so far. It breaks down in the atmosphere in just 12 years, which is much sooner than the centuries taken by CO2 – but it is also around 80 times more powerful over a 20-year time span.

S10S15What identical twin research reveals about criminality  On the morning of September 25, 2023, 35-year-old Samantha Jo Petersen struck an Amish buggy on a southeastern Minnesota road while driving her SUV back from work. Amid the strewn debris, two children lay dead. When police arrived, Sarah Beth Peterson, Samantha Jo’s identical twin sister, greeted them. She quickly confessed to the tragic accident. Samantha was nowhere to be found. Unbeknownst to the authorities, the sisters had switched positions to spare Samantha, who was high on methamphetamines, from prison.Thanks to a couple of drive-by witnesses, the ruse was eventually uncovered. The sisters, who had extensive criminal histories before the incident, now both face years in prison.

S16Want Higher Open Rates? Send Good Emails Consistently  Forty-seven percent of people open a brand email because that brand always sends them good emails, according to a new ZeroBounce report. Subject lines, however, come in second, with 42 percent of people stating they mostly pay attention to an email's subject. "More powerful than any subject line is your sender name. That's because your sender name brings to the surface all of your subscriber's feelings about their recent interactions with your brand," says Chad S. White, head of research at Oracle Digital Experiene Agency. "So, for instance, if their last email interaction was good, they're much more likely to engage with your latest email. I call this the zero stage of an email interaction," the email marketing expert adds.

S21How Parachute Achieved Profitability  There's meal kit subscription service Blue Apron, once valued at $1.9 billion, which was acquired by Wonder for $103 million last September. The mattress company Casper launched a bold but unsuccessful IPO in 2020 and quickly reclaimed its status as a private company a mere two years later. SmileDirectClub declared bankruptcy in December and shut down shortly afterward, causing confusion amongst consumers who were in the middle of their personalized dental care plans. While Ariel Kaye, CEO and founder of Parachute, declined to share exactly how profitable the company is, and declined to share current revenue numbers, the company reiterated it made more than $150 million in 2021. But for context and comparison, Parachute competitor Boll & Branch, also founded in 2014, logged $200 million in 2023 revenue, while Brooklinen, another competitor founded in 2014, logged revenue of $100 million in 2019. According to CB Insights, Brooklinen has raised about $60 million in total and Boll & Branch has raised about $100 million. In total, Kaye raised $47 million in venture funding after closing out a Series C round in 2018.

S196 Things I Learned About Customer Service as a CEO  According to a study by Forrester, brands with superior customer experience bring in 5.7 times more revenue than their competitors who lag in customer experience. On the flip side, we know that U.S. companies lose about $136 billion per year because of avoidable customer loss and that it can cost five times more to acquire one customer than to retain an existing one.This leads us to an undeniable conclusion: The way we interact with customers will make or break our chances of building and maintaining a successful business. As a CEO, I've had the pleasure of building and working with a team of client support personnel that has earned a 5.0-star rating on Google across hundreds of reviews, and a 97 percent satisfaction rating among clients.Here are six lessons about exceptional customer service I've learned over the years.

S40Europe's Digital Markets Act Is Breaking Open the Empires of Big Tech ![]() Citizens of the European Union live in an internet built and ruled by foreign powers. Most people in the EU use an American search engine, shop on an American ecommerce site, thumb American phones, and scroll through American social media feeds.That fact has triggered increasing alarm in the corridors of Brussels, as the EU tries to understand how exactly those companies warp the economy around them. Five years ago, Shoshana Zuboff's book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism neatly articulated much of lawmakers' critique of the tech giants, just as they were preparing to enforce the flagship GDPR privacy law. Now as the EU enacts another historic piece of tech regulation, the Digital Markets Act, which companies must comply with starting tomorrow, March 7, a different critic du jour sums up the new mood in Brussels.

S32AI Tools Are Still Generating Misleading Election Images ![]() Despite years of evidence to the contrary, many Republicans still believe that President Joe Biden's win in 2020 was illegitimate. A number of election-denying candidates won their primaries during Super Tuesday, including Brandon Gill, the son-in-law of right-wing pundit Dinesh D'Souza and promoter of the debunked 2000 Mules film. Going into this year's elections, claims of election fraud remain a staple for candidates running on the right, fueled by dis- and misinformation, both online and off.And the advent of generative AI has the potential to make the problem worse. A new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit that tracks hate speech on social platforms, found that even though generative AI companies say they've put policies in place to prevent their image-creating tools from being used to spread election-related disinformation, researchers were able to circumvent their safeguards and create the images anyway.

S37Inside Election Conspiracy Groups on Super Tuesday ![]() Super Tuesday was a blowout for former president Donald Trump, who won 14 out of 15 states. And yet, Trump's most ardent supporters who believe that all votes and elections are now irredeemably fraudulent spent the day boosting wild conspiracies online, predicting what would happen in November, and guessing how their perceived enemies will conspire to defeat Trump.Voting rights groups reported very few issues impacting Super Tuesday voters, but that didn't stop members of election-denial groups. Instead, they grasped onto anything they could find that seemingly indicated a grand election conspiracy. Accusations of fraud trickled in slowly on Tuesday before exploding around 10:30 am when users of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads all found out that the platforms were offline.

S5What's the source of your headaches? It could be your neck. - National Geographic Premium (No paywall)  Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate myofascial (muscle and surrounding connective tissue) involvement in tension-type headaches and migraines among 50 people. Besides finding a link between neck pain and the presence of both types of headaches, the MRI scans revealed subtle changes in the trapezius muscle, which extends from the mid-back into the neck and shoulders, that may stem from inflammation among those with these headache disorders.As far as the underlying cause goes, the trigeminal nerve, also known as the fifth cranial nerve, is the common denominator for many headaches; it connects to the brainstem and descends to the upper cervical spine, transmitting pain, touch, and temperature signals to various parts of the face and head.

S6I used generative AI to turn my story into a comicâand you can too - MIT Technology Review (No paywall)  I fed my story into a text box and got this message: “We are identifying scenes, locations, and characters as well as vibes. This process can take up to 2 minutes.” Lore Machine analyzed the text, extracted descriptions of the characters and locations mentioned, and then handed those bits of information off to an image-generation model. An illustrated storyboard popped up on the screen. As I clicked through vivid comic-book renderings of my half-forgotten characters, my heart was pounding.After more than a year in development, Lore Machine is now available to the public for the first time. For $10 a month, you can upload 100,000 words of text (up to 30,000 words at a time) and generate 80 images for short stories, scripts, podcast transcripts, and more. There are price points for power users too, including an enterprise plan costing $160 a month that covers 2.24 million words and 1,792 images. The illustrations come in a range of preset styles, from manga to watercolor to pulp ’80s TV show.

On March 5th the crypto token rose to an all-time high of just above $69,000—a level sure to delight the meme-loving crypto-crowd—before slipping back a little. The record capped a remarkable comeback from the dark days of November 2022, when interest-rate rises were crushing risk appetite and ftx, a crypto exchange, had just gone bust. At the time, buying bitcoin on such exchanges seemed like little more than a fun and novel way to get robbed.

S95 Concepts That Will Help Your Team Be More Data-Driven - Harvard Business Review (No paywall)  Data is invading every nook and cranny of every team, department, and company in every industry, everywhere. Developing the talent needed to take full advantage must be a high priority. Indeed, everyone must be able to contribute to improving data quality, interpreting analyses, and conducting their own experiments. It will take decades for the public education systems to churn out enough people with the needed skills — far too long for companies to wait. Fortunately, managers, aided by a senior data scientist engaged for a few hours a week can introduce five powerful “tools” that will help their teams start to use analytics to solve important business problems.I’ve spent my career helping companies address their data and data quality opportunities. Overall, I rate progress as “slower than hoped.” While there are many contributing factors, one of the most important is the sheer lack of analytic talent, up and down the organization chart. In turn, this lack of talent makes it harder for companies to leverage their data, to take full advantage of their data scientists, and to get in front of data quality issues. Lack of talent breeds fear, exacerbating difficulties in adopting a data-driven culture. And so forth, in a vicious cycle.

S4Can energy harnessed from Earthâs interior help power the world? - Environment (No paywall)  LARDERELLO, ITALY — On a chilly autumn morning in the Italian countryside near Larderello, Tuscany, the misty landscape reminded me why the area is nicknamed Valle del Diavolo, or the Devil’s Valley. Supposedly the inspiration for Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, the land here is a web of natural cracks in the rock that let a mix of steam and gasses reach the surface. Volcanic vents called fumaroles and geysers sprayed white clouds into the air.Unlike the rolling hills, vineyards, and cypress-lined roads of other parts of Tuscany, the landscape here is studded with dozens of gray cooling towers puffing white vapors. The deafening roar of a car-sized turbine at the Valle Secolo geothermal plant stamps out any sense of tranquility, but its violent spinning transforms steam rising from 3,300 feet below ground into energy for 150,000 families in the region.

S39A 62-Year-Old German Man Got 217 Covid Shots--and Was Totally Fine ![]() A 62-year-old man in Germany decided to get 217 Covid-19 vaccinations over the course of 29 months âÂÂfor âÂÂprivate reasons.â But, somewhat surprisingly, he doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects from the excessive immunization, according to a newly published case study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.The case is just one person, of course, so the findings can't be extrapolated to the general population. But, they conflict with a widely held concern among researchers that such overexposure to vaccination could lead to weaker immune response. Some experts have raised this concern in discussions over how frequently people should get Covid-19 booster doses.
