Who from @techreview will be there? Here's the starting lineup: -@biocuriosity -@_KarenHao -@tanyabasu -@lmuscato -@bobbie They'll be supported by the audience engagement team, @madisonumina and @Benji_Rosen. — PolitiTweet.org

(We're less likely to be able to speak about the science of the vaccines themselves, or where you or your family should personally go to get a vaccine.) — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
⁉️ You can ask us about ⁉️: - How vaccines get from point A to point B - Why it's been so hard for you to sign up - Where public health data needs to be improved - How you might eventually prove you've been vaccinated - How decisions are made about the vaccine rollout process — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
We also looked at the faulty system used by Stanford to select who'd be eligible for vaccination. https://t.co/jp2vcS9xiW — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
So what are Americans doing instead to get signed up for their shots? Some are crowdsourcing ideas and tactics with their neighbors and even strangers. https://t.co/JCUN7TXyDt — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
We investigated the $44 million vaccine data system that isn't being used and has, in the words of one expert, "become a cuss word." https://t.co/T4Cnohcr5g — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
We did a deeply researched overview of how America gets its vaccines. (it's a giant maze, pretty much) https://t.co/ZoaNHa0Fk2 — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle, and so we've written about them over several stories. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
We've learned a lot about how it works (and doesn’t) in the US, and we've spoken to experts about what needs to change. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
We've been looking into the complicated data systems and processes behind America's vaccine rollout, trying to understand why they aren't up to their task in many ways. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
American's aren't getting vaccinated fast enough to outpace covid-19, and part of the reason is the inefficient, sometimes broken technology involved. — PolitiTweet.org

How do covid-19 vaccines actually get to Americans? We’re piecing together the convoluted picture and hosting a @reddit_AMA about it on Tuesday, Feb. 2, starting at 12 p.m. ET. Ask us anything! https://t.co/oEoQAzWeMY https://t.co/prOWcYLH1U — PolitiTweet.org

The CDC ordered $44 million software that was meant to manage the vaccine rollout. Instead, it is notorious for randomly canceled appointments, unreliable registration, and problems that lock staff out of the system they’re supposed to use to log records. https://t.co/mk7xLFb29O — PolitiTweet.org

“Everyone thinks farmers know how they grow, but the reality is they’re pulling it out of the air. They don’t track that down to the lot level." This story was written by @rowanmg. It was repurposed for Twitter by @madisonumina. READ it here: https://t.co/n0GwgiXKId — PolitiTweet.org

“Everyone thinks farmers know how they grow, but the reality is they’re pulling it out of the air. They don’t track that down to the lot level,” says Aaron Magenheim, who runs a consultancy focused on farm technology. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
As a result, the vegetable market is subject to variations based on weather and other only vaguely predictable factors. The focus for ag tech boosters has now shifted towards yield predictions to prevent farmers from suffering major losses. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Foresight is key. The government has sheltered growers of corn, wheat, soybeans, and other commodities from the financial impact of pests and bad weather by offering subsidies to offset the cost of crop insurance; fruits and vegetables do not enjoy the same protection. https://t.co/15P3MYWY0V — PolitiTweet.org

Artificial intelligence isn't sexist and racist on its own. It's picked that up from the internet, including the dark corners of Reddit and Twitter. https://t.co/pmm6HtWyCd — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
But many others are focused exclusively on giving farmers better information. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
However, startups like FarmWise want to develop tech solutions with farmers in mind. The team is working on something akin to hand-eye coordination, chasing the goal of automating labor-intensive stages of farming—weeding and, above all, harvesting—against farm labor shortages. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
For instance, agricultural fields are bright, hot, and dusty: hardly ideal conditions for keeping computers running smoothly. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Even up close, all kinds of things can foul the “vision” of the computers that power automated systems like the ones FarmWise uses. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
“People would rather work at a fast food restaurant. In-N-Out is paying $17.50 an hour.” — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Five years later, Alcántar says, the conversation has shifted completely. Even FarmWise has struggled to find people willing to “walk behind the machine,” he says. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
“You’re taking our jobs away!” they’d say. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
At first, relatives sometimes chided him for helping to accelerate a machine takeover in the fields, where stooped, sweaty work had cleared a path for his family’s upward mobility. https://t.co/WNwvQp5RpS — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Now, Alcántar doesn’t do the weeding. Instead, he operates a machine using an iPad, teaching it how to complete the task. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Eventually, he developed a plan to move on from manual labor, and secured a job at a robotics startup. https://t.co/DM6jticiCa — PolitiTweet.org
