Tail-winds and cheers!
Since 1996, the Colcom Foundation has distributed more than $500 million in grants across Western Pennsylvania, building a track record that few regional funders can match. Founded by Cordelia Scaife May, the organization set out to address the connection between human population growth and environmental strain, a focus that still guides its work today. Through […]
Long before Greg Soros became a name in podcast production, he was studying the technical side of music at Berklee College of Music. That training, paired with years working inside leading media companies, gave him a foundation most podcasters in the audio space simply don’t have. It also explains why his Austin studio, Podcraft Media […]
Publishing a surgical technique is one thing. Documenting it thoroughly enough for other surgeons to adopt it is another. Dr. Andrew Jacono did both, culminating in a 2021 textbook, “The Art and Science of Extended Deep Plane Facelifting,” that draws on more than 2,000 procedures. The book followed years of clinical work that began when […]
The conversation about AI in government tends to gravitate toward possibilities: what the technology could automate, what it could predict, how it could transform the delivery of public services. Justin Fulcher, drawing on experience as both a technology founder and a Defense Department advisor, shifts that conversation toward implementation. Possibility, he argues, is not the […]

RingMD, the telehealth platform he had co-founded in Singapore nearly a decade earlier, had just completed its US relaunch with a new institutional focus. The pandemic removed any remaining question about whether digital healthcare was ready for the mainstream. Fulcher’s response was direct: […]
Most facelifts address what gravity does to skin. Dr. Andrew Jacono‘s extended deep-plane approach addresses what gravity does to the underlying structures that hold the face together a distinction that explains why his results tend to outlast conventional procedures by a significant margin. Surface Versus Structure Standard SMAS facelifts separate the skin from the deeper […]
Long before Dr. Andrew Jacono became one of the most recognized facial plastic surgeons in the United States, he was a schoolboy watching a classmate endure cruelty because of a cleft lip and palate. When that girl returned after reconstructive surgery, her peers treated her differently as a person rather than a condition. That moment, […]
Most private investors follow a simple pattern: identify an opportunity, deploy capital, and exit when the returns materialize. Idaho business leader Karl Studer has demonstrated a different approach — one where the commitment to businesses he has invested in extends well beyond the initial transaction, reflecting a genuine belief in their long-term potential and a […]
Among the figures Hart Energy inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2023 was Kelcy Warren, the executive chairman who turned a small natural gas pipeline company into one of the largest midstream operations in the United States. The induction, part of Hart Energy’s 50th anniversary celebration, recognized Warren with the title architect of a […]
Academic fellowships in Washington typically serve one of two purposes. For some recipients, they are credential-building exercises — affiliations that appear on a resume and at the bottom of an op-ed byline. For a smaller number, they are genuine working relationships that shape how the recipient thinks about their field and position them to contribute […]
