“Uncharted.” The word evokes our unprecedented time, with all its inherent challenges and advances. As I write this, we’re collectively navigating the uncharted territory of weather extremes from climate change and the ravages of a life-altering pandemic. In spite of this, we carry on. It’s simply in our nature. In the face of hardship—globally, individually, or somewhere in between—we explore, innovate, and push boundaries to find novel solutions to entrenched problems, so that we can better understand and improve ourselves and our planet.
