"We somehow think the humanity of those who haven't received the vaccine is somehow less than ours," says Dr. Nahid Bhadelia. "There are still some parts of the world where only 5% of people are vaccinated."

"Moderna had 800 people and had never made a product before the pandemic," says CEO Stephane Bancel. Bancel says manufacturing was the biggest challenge, as the production need was 10,000 times what was normal.

"You can have a silver bullet, but if you can't get it to the rest of the world you're not going to change our destiny when it comes to ending these pandemics." -Dr. Nahid Bhadelia

When it comes to misinformation, "I don't think Moderna alone can fix this issue," says Bancel. "We are all fighting the same enemy, it's the virus. We have to work together."

Beeple explains digital art as "almost a subscription to art," in that it is ever-changing. "They are buying continual access to me updating this piece."

Beeple reminds that many mediums of art—photography, graffiti, etc—weren't considered art to begin with. He believes NFTs are in that space now. wired.trib.al/wmPpnQJ #REWIRED2021

"We have to do things differently. The statusquo is unacceptable," says @CISAJen, talking about the effort to include hackers in government cybersecurity. "I'm hoping to ignite that hacker community. Partner with us, and bring it on."

"The most important infrastructure is our cognitive infrastructure," says @CISAJen. "Building that resilience to misinformation and disinformation is so important."

@nealstephenson

Next up: Sci-Fi writer @nealstephenson sits down with WIRED's @jetjocko to chat about the existential threats the world faces, and what to do about them. Watch live here: wired.trib.al/Vu7lrI5 #REWIRED2021

Neal Stephenson describes the efforts to fix climate change as a "tourniquet for a grievously wounded limb," and says things may get worse before they get better.

"The expectation people have is if a big thing needs to be done, a billionaire needs to step in and handle it for us," says Stephenson. "That's new."

@cecianasta

Strap in for another #REWIRED2021 session coming at 4PM EST as John Cho and André Nemec speak with our own @cecianasta to take a behind the scenes look at Netflix's 'Cowboy Bebop' live-action rendition: wired.trib.al/QOF7lIj

@JohnTheCho

The last #REWIRED2021 session is about to start with @JohnTheCho and André Nemec discussing #CowboyBebop. Watch live here: wired.trib.al/QOF7lIj

@JohnTheCho

.@JohnTheCho says the toughest part of trying to encapsulate this anime character for #CowboyBebop was the actual physicality and the martial arts. One of the tougher scenes he filmed was one where he was practicing on a dummy.

"I think that we would take ham sandwiches to outer space with us," says André Nemec, while detailing how even a futuristic world would likely carry parts of our old world with it.

Where do electric vehicle batteries go when they die? Right now, Oklahoma City, of all places. Here’s what’s going on: 1/12

A Dutchman-turned-Oklahoman named Dirk Spiers has for a decade worked to transform his Spiers New Technologies into an authority on the death—and life—of batteries. In his facilities, batteries are disassembled, fixed, refurbished, and recycled. 2/12

But the world will need many, many more companies like SNT. 230 million EVs may be on the road by 2030; millions of batteries may be at or close to retirement by then. 3/12

So you’re vaccinated? Great—Now all you gotta do is prove it. Here’s how to make showing your vaccine card nice and easy—all from your mobile device. wired.trib.al/TnOoD6P 1/10

To get started, you’ll need an official digital record of your vaccine information. You can get this from government websites, your healthcare provider, or the place where you received your shot. 2/10

Apple’s iOS 15 allows you to save the card in Apple Wallet, which will let you be ready well before the burly bouncer at the door of your local tiki bar starts glaring at you. To add the info to Apple Wallet, you’ll need a SMART card. 3/10
