Innovation Advisory Board
Expert guidance that keeps the lab credible, focused, and field-ready.
Why an Advisory Board?
The Advisory Board brings together the people who know the science, the engineering, and the field. They don't have to meet every week — being willing to advise the lab on direction, review ideas, and lend their expertise is what builds trust and keeps our work grounded. As the board grows, so does our credibility with partners, funders, and the community.
