Northeastern University

What it means is the rest of the world is changing.

You know, I hope that more schools, and there are some, right? There's Vanderbilt and Northeastern and ASU that are innovating like crazy and they're embracing the future.

And I hope more schools do that.

And as those schools do it, hopefully the academy will sort of be the beacon, like the example.

And the head coach for Philadelphia, Nick Sirianni, who is from, well, been around Philadelphia forever and the Northeast.

He's a Northeastern guy.

He's used to cold.

He can stand out here in a bitter cold and act like he's not cold.

J.B. Frankel.

J.B. Frankel is the transfer from Northeastern.

If you're talking about all the transfers that BC landed, he's usually the one we don't talk about at all.

He had an injury, I believe, last year that sidelined him for a bunch.

We're drawing from the Science History Institute, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Earth Rights International.

And Northeastern University, plus a few leading industry experts, too.

Right.

So our mission for this deep dive is to look at how these critical materials actually get out of the ground, the massive environmental toll of that process, and how chemical engineers are just desperately trying to rethink the entire supply chain to salvage the green energy transition.

So there is an age difference, if not a difference in the class of their year in joining the Huskies.

But so those newcomers are going to be cycled in and maybe the most important newcomer, Tristan Thompson, coming over from Northeastern, 6'1", biggest player on roster for the Huskies.

And, you know, Northeastern is a very good team.

Last year, Frozen Four team.

And Thompson is more of a depth player for them on their defensive core, but a regular player for those Huskies.

It would not be fun if we just had the same,

I am really interested in Thompson maybe instead of playing a third-pairing shutdown defender, seeing in a different role, seeing what she can do.

Yeah, I would imagine she didn't get much power play time in Northeastern, and that could be an opportunity.

And that's a good thing because we're looking at testing, we're looking at academics, we're looking at extracurriculars, the student's personal statement, and that all comes together to say, well, what is this student all about? The problem is that a lot of schools have very, very low acceptance rates here.

So The Ivies have single digit acceptance rates as do schools like Vanderbilt, Northeastern.

If you go to the universities outside of the United States, like if you even go to the top tier schools like the Oxfords and the University of Manchester, the acceptances are significantly higher.

And the reason is multifold.

Travis ran the numbers on this one and they're ugly.

Researchers at Penn and Northeastern finally ran a real experiment on Google's AI answers.

Not a survey, a randomized test, about a thousand people.

When an AI overview showed up at the top of the page, the clicks out to actual websites fell almost 40%.

Yeah.

So you went to Northeastern.

We didn't finish this conversation because I'm in Philly and Drexel is in Philly.

And you did the whole five-year program and all that, I guess, right? I did.
