What about you? Would you eat/support/invest in lab-grown meat?

Andriy & Sergiy Lyubchyk are co-founding brothers of CascataChuva a Portuguese eco-tech company that believes it can literally pull energy from thin air.
This idea is almost too wild to be true, but apparently we're all just one NDA away from seeing it for ourselves...
While running another experiment, these brothers discovered that there were forces they couldn't account for. This discovery led them to develop "a revolutionary technological solution for producing electrical energy through direct conversion of humidity adsorption energy by elaborating a highly innovative 'atmospheric humidity to electricity' converter device.
Is it a game-changer in clean energy? Or pseudoscience? Let's find out!

Daniel Carcillo was a pro hockey veteran and 2-time Stanley Cup winner. But his life changed when he was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and traumatic brain injury (TBI) following his 10-year career as an “enforcer” in the NHL.
After years of suffering from neurological issues, he found solace in psychedelic medicine – something that traditional pharmaceuticals could not provide.
Today, Daniel is an advocate on behalf of TBI survivors and those dealing with mental health challenges, vocal about the inadequacies of America’s healthcare system, which is driving patients to explore novel treatments such as Ketamine, MDMA, & Psilocybin.
This is why he co-founded Healing Realty Trust (HRT), a real estate investment trust investing in the clinical infrastructure required to support tomorrow’s medicine. As COO, he hopes to help unlock the industry’s growth and help millions of people access these therapies by providing a real estate network that supports innovative medicine.
