All proceeds will be donated to MacPaw Foundation, a non-profit organization established by MacPaw, to provide aid for civilians affected by russia’s invasion of Ukraine

BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innovation in Isolation: The Story of Ukrainian IT from the 1940s to the Present explores Ukraine’s pivotal role in the birth of computer science and its transformation from a former part of the Soviet Union to a thriving European innovation hub and is now available for preorder online. The book will be published on February 11, 2025 ahead of the third anniversary of russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine. Commissioned by MacPaw – a global software company with deep Ukrainian roots –  published by IST Publishing, and distributed by Pathway Book Service in the U.S., all proceeds from Innovation in Isolation will support MacPaw Foundation’s humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. These funds will be directed to emergency wartime medical assistance in Ukraine’s most remote and inaccessible areas, a critical need in the face of russia’s ongoing aggression.

From the development of the first computer in Ukraine in the 1940s to its emergence as a global tech hub in the 21st century, Innovation in Isolation chronicles Ukraine’s pivotal role in the birth of computer science. Featuring exclusive interviews spanning generations with compelling illustrations and original photographs never before seen in the West, the book brings to life the untold stories of overlooked geniuses including Sergey Lebedev (1902–1974) and Victor Glushkov (1923-1982).

“We created Innovation in Isolation to shed light on the profound history of Ukraine’s IT industry and to show the world how Ukraine has produced so many talented engineers and IT specialists,” said Oleksandr Kosovan, Founder and CEO of MacPaw. “For decades, Soviet authorities and Moscow elites distorted our history, often claiming our inventions and the names of our inventors as their own. This book will fix that narrative, celebrating the true pioneers who helped Ukraine become a modern tech hub. I hope that readers find this exploration of Ukrainian history both enlightening and inspiring, recognizing the resilience and brilliance of these remarkable Ukrainian minds.”

Innovation in Isolation celebrates Ukraine’s achievements and offers valuable insights into the lessons learned under the oppression and propaganda of the former Soviet Union. This book offers readers a powerful message for today: Ukraine’s innovative spirit continues to thrive despite russian aggression. By examining Ukraine’s resilience and innovation in the face of adversity, readers will gain a deeper appreciation of Ukraine’s tech landscape and the indomitable spirit of its people.

Tenant needs shaping move toward flexible spaces that are ready for move-in

COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Demand toward life sciences manufacturing space when compared to innovation and R&D is driving the shift in tenant needs in the market, leading to changes in how architects and contractors’ partner with clients, said Abhishek Dhawan, DPR Construction’s Mid-Atlantic life sciences leader at Bisnow’s Life Sciences Summit.

“The advancement in science and technology has enhanced the need for life science buildings to accommodate continual adjustments in space and use by various tenants and companies,” Dhawan said. “Purpose-built, flexible facilities are the leading design and construction trend in the market.”

With a robust level of drug clinical trials driven by major pharmaceutical firms, the need for move-in-ready space and cGMP manufacturing is very important. However, with tight budgets and consistent advancements in the science and technology, architects and contractors are helping firms maintain a balance between these conflicting concerns.

Dhawan also noted that:

Facilities are being built to accommodate collaboration spaces, vibration sensitive equipment, efficient airflows and exhaust, mechanical/electrical/plumbing for multi-purpose facility use.Shared lab amenities that bring more flexibility in buildings include low temperate product storage, central glass wash/autoclave, data center, cleanroom and fabrication shops.Living plant walls, noise control, and increased access to daylight and fresh air make these buildings healthier for everyone who works in them. Moreover, incorporating features that encourage wellness, such as open and accessible stairways, dedicated fitness spaces and showers, and even outdoor dining, walking paths and bike storage rooms.
