Awesome. I work in the support team at @RoamResearch. Previous 7 years I spent doing PhD on recombination/exaptation. Not sure value of that until I saw Roam last year and from research I knew instantly Roam was very important. Thread on how I joined After I signed up last year. I couldn't sleep thinking about how it's going to change things- education, wikipedia, how future generations will learn about today and interact with your ideas. How you can have a 100 year conversation with your family. Just getting started.
