"There are always obstacles, but I just keep going. You can’t let obstacles get in your way, because as soon as you do, you've basically lost the game."

This newsletter issue features Dahl Winters, CEO at TerraNexum - Quantum for Climate Progress

Dahl has formal training in biology, ecology, and systems engineering, but is self-taught in physics, geospatial analysis, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, quantum vacuum, quantum gravity, Bjerknes forces, acoustic radiation force, acoustic metamaterials. In her spare time, she is also an artist and a member of the OpenAir Collective.

You have such an amazing, diverse background. How has that helped you? 

Having a diverse perspective on things really helps me to find the commonalities between all those different fields of expertise. When you are just studying one core subject, you can't really see the broader picture. It's as if you have a field of ant hills, and you're really concentrated on just one ant hill. When you have a wider perspective, you can better see how all the things are connected.

How is your diverse knowledge and background related to your founding Terranexum?

I've been working in solving problems using science and engineering for seven years prior to that within a different company that I started with my husband. At some point, I started thinking, “Climate is a big issue. I've been doing a lot in carbon dioxide removal. I can't do all the work myself.” I noticed that a lot of companies AirMiners and a lot of volunteers on the OpenAir collective– they're all doing individual things. And I thought, “We can actually drive progress a lot faster if we work together.” There's so many skills that we can bring together and different types of technologies that need deploying today. 

Municipalities and companies in every state of every country in every part of the world are doing what they can locally to try to address the climate issue. They may not all be at the same level, though. It's my goal to help make the path forward accessible to everyone.
