Episode 32: Constructing With Open Doors with Fernando Bales Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

This week, we were on-site speaking with Fernando Bales, build lab manager for Citizen Robotics in Detroit, Michigan. Citizen Robotics is a non-profit working to reduce the cost – both in labor hours and in dollars – of building new homes through the use of robotics.
Beyond that, they’re also focused on education and access – something you all know we’re always on board for at Supplyframe. Through their training center, they bring these exciting technologies to people in the community, from elementary school students to city officials, so they can learn to build more effectively.
Fernando has loved building from an early age. Today, we talk about the value of the hand drawn sketch, some of the challenges when bringing this tech to the construction world, and the value of transparency in innovation.

Episode 25: The Modern Space Race With Sirina Nabhan Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by a long-time friend of Supplyframe, Sirina Nabhan who has one of the coolest jobs in the world. Sirina is a product and data systems engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
After graduating from UC Riverside, Sirina landed a three-month internship at NASA. Then, a few years later, they brought her on for real. These days, Sirina’s role is to build project and data systems in deep space networks, basically communicating with anything that goes to the moon and beyond.
Today, we’ll talk about how a robot video on Youtube inspired her career path, what’s happening between NASA and JAXA, the Japanese space program, and what we can expect to see in the near and distant future when it comes to deep space communication.
