## Resource

In this episode of Reality Check, Ross Coulthart sits down with Dr. Anna Brady-Estevez, founding partner of American DeepTech and former director at the National Science Foundation. Dr. Brady-Estevez’s investment firm is working to fund, develop, and commercialize UAP-derived and UAP-inspired technologies. She tells Ross what it is like being a woman in science, how she is working to bring new technologies to the forefront of science, and provides insights from her time working at the National Science Foundation. They also discuss progress towards zero-point energy and how the government suppresses UAP craft technology.
