"I submitted a proposal for widespread IFR deployment to the MIT Climate CoLab competition, and it passed the first hurdle and is being considered in what I suppose could be called the semi-finals, or maybe the finals. There are a number of categories and only one actual prize, but if it gets to the final stage I'll be able to present the pitch at their conference, which could be good exposure. The chance of actually winning all the marbles at MIT is a lottery-scale long shot, of course.
