Luminary Labs alums are doing amazing things across sectors and industries.? In our latest Alumni Spotlight interview, Sean Riordan joined us to talk about his work at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he supports teams across the enterprise to nurture and operationalize key strategic priorities. Sean is currently working with Stanford faculty and practitioners on a new effort to guide the responsible use of AI across biomedical research, education, and patient care. He also shares some of his favorite Luminary Labs memories and lessons he continues to carry today.

Last week, Luminary Labs convened leaders working at the nexus of climate, infrastructure, health, workforce, and technology to discuss the far-reaching impacts of our changing climate and offer insights on thoughtful strategies, innovative partnership opportunities, and emerging funding sources to integrate climate considerations into diverse industries. We published a recap of the event to share some of the highlights from the session. Here are a few of our key takeaways: ? “Climate” is no longer seen as only a concern for specialists; like equity –– or “digital” — it impacts and connects with everything. Every leader must look at their business and industry through the lens of #climate. ? Essential sectors of our society and economy — including #healthcare, #education, and #transportation — contribute to climate change while also facing the impacts of rising temperatures and extreme weather. ? Given the duality of climate impacts, how can leaders advance sustainable innovations while ensuring that essential aspects of our society and economy are resilient and thriving? ??

For too long, adult learners have had to navigate the complex career landscape without the support of digital tools designed to meet their needs. The Future Finder Challenge fostered a multidisciplinary community to guide career navigation technology toward greater accessibility and impact for adult learners. We could not be more proud of the work we’ve accomplished together. Now, two years after its launch, we’re bringing the challenge to a close. We can’t think of a better way to mark #AEFLWeek2024 than by celebrating the extraordinary impact of this challenge.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched the #KidneyXSustainabilityPrize, a $7.25 million challenge to drive meaningful change in the sustainability of kidney care. More than half a million Americans receive life-sustaining maintenance dialysis, relying on technology that consumes large amounts of water and power, putting patients at risk during resource shortages. These sustainability challenges present an opportunity for innovation and collaboration across the dialysis ecosystem. Innovators — including patients, healthcare providers, engineers, and entrepreneurs — are invited to learn more about the challenge and how to participate at a September 25 virtual information session.
