The prolonged ME war is reshaping the energy narrative—and narratives shape investment.
I published a piece with @AtlanticCouncil on how the war is driving a new energy narrative, accelerating the redefinition of the global energy map, and why minerals could redefine the ME’s strategic position.
Key message: #EnergySecurity is assured by adding, not replacing; diversifying, not concentrating; and cooperating, not excluding.

In @FortuneMagazine , Commissioner @RajPanjabi lays out the warning signs to watch for at the intersection of AI and biology. One of them: AI-designed sequences of concern reaching synthesis providers or automated labs. That’s why the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense recommends watermarking and tracing tools for biological design systems.

Our efforts began with @UNICEF back in 2014, and now “only seven countries are left struggling with this health concern,” @Ch_JesusChrist’s Elissa McConkie Gifford tells @ACFPCenter’s @patrickwquirk, pointing to progress against maternal and newborn tetanus.
“UNICEF is the largest single buyer of vaccines in the world and last year delivered more than 3 billion doses,” says @UNICEFUSA’s Kathleen Fox.
“Buying at that scale really brings prices down, and it keeps the quality up,” she tells @ACFPCenter’s @patrickwquirk.
On harnessing sports as a platform for global advocacy for mothers and future generations:
“Sports has a way of being a connector,” @WTA’s Ann Austin tells @ACFPCenter’s @patrickwquirk.
The Child Nutrition Fund was founded because “malnutrition today is still linked to over half of all childhood deaths for children under 5,” says @UNICEFUSA’s Kathleen Fox.
“In 2025, it reached over 1 million children with treatment for severe acute malnutrition,” she adds.
We need to “make sure that kids know how to use SI well—not that it replaces their thinking, but helps them think in a really strategic and analytical way,” @StateDept’s @BestFutureGen Charity Wallace tells @ACFPCenter’s James Mazzarella.

On recent disruptions on Ukraine’s military network Starshield:
.@ACEurasia’s Major General Volodymyr Havrylov explains, “I think it's a lack of strategic communication on a political level between Ukraine and the United States and also between the military.”
On how Ukraine continues to be successful despite military disadvantages:
.@ACEurasia’s Suriya Jayanti explains, “What it has succeeded most in is bringing the pain to the Russian people so that the war isn't some abstract Ukraine aggression far away that nobody feels.”
On whether US policy is shifting towards Russia:
“We are not seeing an actual realignment," says @ACEurasia’s @JohnEdHerbst.
“What we are seeing is a policy that is extremely naïve regarding what Russia is doing internationally,” he tells @shelbyjmag.
On the humanitarian consequences on Russian strikes on critical infrastructure @ACEurasia’s @Kristina__Hook explains, “We see a very clear body of evidence that Russia is increasingly targeting the infrastructure that makes modern life possible.”

.@kesvelt: “Are we prepared for an engineered pandemic weapon? And the answer to that is no.”
“The technology exists, but we absolutely are not prepared for the level of pandemic weapon that could be created using modern biotechnology,” he tells @ACEurasia’s @JohnEdHerbst.
.@gregkoblentz offers possible explanations for the death of a woman at a Russian anti-plague laboratory:
“There are actually a number of more mundane reasons why someone who was infected by a pneumonic plague could die,” he tells @ACEurasia’s @JohnEdHerbst.
How will the upcoming midterm elections affect US energy policy?
