Mark Ruffalo tried to recruit ADL CEO to help him apologize for ‘antisemitic’ Paramount rant — but was snubbed
Call it a Hollywood mea culpa that wound up in turnaround. Sources tell Page Six Hollywood that Mark Ruffalo was looking to apologize for a pair of recent social media posts that cast Larry Ellison as a Lex Luther-esque billionaire oppressing Gazans and drew the condemnation of a broad swath of Jewish groups including the…

Sensing a systemic problem that needed addressing, Kappagantulu pivoted to agriculture. In 2015, he launched an agri-tech enterprise called Kheyti, which means farming in Hindi.

Read MoreZoox’s Aicha Evans Is Reimagining Urban Mobility
“We are in the people-moving space, and we happen to use self-driving technology to realize the vision,” Evans says.

“Go to any fire- or hurricane- or flood-hit town in America, and you’ll see the labor shortage,” says Soni. “Even if the money comes, if the workers aren’t there to repair, then people won’t be coming home.” Soni hopes to continue developing this much-needed workforce over the next decade.

When he began using a prosthetic leg soon thereafter, its limitations were obvious. “The first one I got was a basic free-swing hinge,” Schultz recalls. “It would swing when I walked, but if I got it wrong, it would just collapse and I’d fall over.” Schultz didn’t just want to walk.

When van Hal arrived at the “very ugly institutional building” practicing this model of care that preceded Hogeweyk, he helped launch a pilot program focused on giving the residents back some of their autonomy. “We immediately saw improvement in how people reacted and responded,” van Hal says. “They became more active, less stressed and less…
Read MoreBjarke Ingels Is Designing Better Spaces for People and the Planet
The “SS Ingels” overlooks yet another prime example: CopenHill, a BIG-designed skiing slope-cum-hiking trail that occupies the pitched roof of a low-pollutant waste-to-energy power plant. At once fun and functional, it exemplifies Ingels’s self-described “hedonistic sustainability” point of view. “Hedonism is about hot showers while sustainability is about cold showers,” he says. “But somehow, when…
Read MoreWhy Erika Woolsey Sees Virtual Reality Tech as an Ocean Conservation Tool
Woolsey’s goal is to make the ocean more accessible to the masses so that they might strive to protect it. After all, it’s “our life-support system on Earth,” she says. Indeed, humans rely on the ocean for food security, economic stability, marine-derived medicine, and climate regulation. Yet “our ocean is overexploited, underprotected, and pretty much…

In 2017, he co-founded ICON, a construction company that uses large-scale 3D printers to erect buildings by layering a proprietary concrete-like material. As of this year, the Austin-based company has 3D-printed 260 houses and other structures. It says its construction system can print a 2,500-square-foot home in under seven days, while cutting construction waste, lowering…
