Petnow, the advanced biometrics technology to identify dogs and cats, changes the way to help lost pet animals reunite with their owners.

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Petnow Inc. announced that the company is showcasing PetWayHome, the most advanced app with AI for reuniting lost pet animals, at MWC Barcelona.

Dr. Jesse Joonho Lim, the CEO of Petnow Inc., stated that “We have been cooperating with insurers and government agencies in South Korea, France, and the United States for adoption of our proprietary pet biometrics that can be used regardless of microchipping status”. He also highlighted that “The added technology is introduced to avoid possible human errors made by letting them manually input the data on their pets’ profiles, and we are really looking forward to showcasing it.”.

The Petnow app has been available for download in Spain, France, Germany, and the UK. It has more than 100K users onboard around the globe, and pilot tests from various countries are on the way to integrate pet biometrics into the pet registries of corresponding regions. The company will be showcasing PetWayHome which is scheduled to be launched by 2Q 2024, at booth 7A62 in Hall 7 of Fira Barcelona Gran Via in MWC Barcelona.

About Petnow Inc.: Developing the idea that dogs’ nose prints are unique like fingerprints, the company has been developing its AI models and the app that can scan, register, and verify the identity of pets by just using mobile phones. The Korean startup, envisioning to build a world without lost animals and lower the burdens of pet medical expenses with more affordable insurance plans, has published its study on IEEE Access, and got renowned by being selected as a CES 2022 Best of Innovation, SuperZoo 2023 New Products Award, and Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023.

New Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Docuseries Tells the Story of African American Movement Over the Last Two Centuries; Thinking Nation Resources Support Educators in Teaching Social Studies as a Discipline, Empower Students to Thrive as Engaged and Critical Thinkers

NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Thinking Nation, a national 501(c)(3) committed to empowering students to thrive as engaged and critical thinkers for the future of democracy, today announced its partnership with WETA, the flagship public media company in the nation’s capital, to make historical thinking resources available across the nation concurrent with the release of the new PBS docuseries Great Migrations: A People On The Move. The series premieres Jan. 28 at 9 p.m. ET on public television stations nationwide and continues the following three Tuesday nights.

WETA will make Thinking Nation’s materials available to high schools in tandem with the release of Great Migrations.

The four-part Great Migrations series will focus on African American movement over the 20th and 21st centuries and the meaning behind those movements. At the center of Great Migrations is renowned historian and scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who serves as the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and American Research at Harvard University. Dr. Gates also hosts the acclaimed series Finding Your Roots. Great Migrations will be broadcast on 350 public stations nationwide.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Thinking Nation on engaging educators and students with the themes of this series,” noted Amy Labenski, Senior Director, National Impact & Engagement, WETA National Productions. “Our organizations have a shared goal of empowering deep engagement with history and civics, and this project allows us to serve communities across the nation with quality materials.”

Through the partnership, WETA will make educational materials from Thinking Nation’s inquiry-based platform available to high schools across America in tandem with the release of Great Migrations. Thinking Nation’s materials support educators as they engage students and help them learn to contextualize information, assess the multi-layered causes of moments, evaluate the evidence they encounter, and empathize with the perspectives of others.

“We are thrilled to begin this partnership with WETA. Our nonprofit exists to ensure educational equity by empowering every student to think deeply about the information they engage with, and being able to provide schools with our resources in partnership with WETA means we can better realize our mission as an organization,” said Zachary Coté, Executive Director, Thinking Nation. “Further, we cannot understand American history without understanding African American migration. We are grateful to WETA for allowing us to support the learning of this essential history.”

WETA is the second-largest producing station for public television in the United States and serves the public with educational initiatives and high-quality programming on television, radio, and digital. WETA is known for producing and distributing a range of popular educational, cultural, and public affairs programming, including PBS News Hour; collaborations with Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. such as Finding Your Roots; and films by Ken Burns and Florentine Films, such as Leonardo da Vinci and the forthcoming The American Revolution.
