Forbes launching “Prototype” newsletter

Alex Knapp

Forbes is starting a science and technology newsletter written by senior editor Alex Knapp.

Knapp writes, “Every week, I’ll be talking to scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to bring you the latest insights and news about the research that will underlie the biggest stories in tech–five years from now: drugs that help you live longer, drugs that help your dogs live longer, asteroid mining, quantum computing and more.

“In addition to highlighting the latest research, I’ll also be digging into the science and technology behind the week’s biggest stories. (For example, one reason the astronauts who came to the international space station are still stuck there? Spacesuits for Boeing’s spaceships aren’t compatible with SpaceX’s, and vice-versa). I’ll also be sharing life hacks and productivity tips grounded in the latest research. (Want to remember something? Writing it down by hand boosts your chances.)

“The future is constantly changing. Keeping up with today’s research is one of the best ways to get ready for it.”
