Great systems analysis -- you are like a pessimistic Elinor Ostrom! (That's a compliment). And great graphics! (I assume you have a series of prompts building up the connections or perhaps a configuration document?)

Thanks- I’ll take the compliment 😀 You're correct about the infographics - I build them prompt by prompt using nanobanana.

Is this tech alternative not viable in this context?: Technological Advancements: To combat shortages, new "helium-free" or "sealed" MRI systems (like Philips BlueSeal) have been developed. These reduce helium consumption by 99.5%, sealing a tiny amount inside the scanner to avoid the need for external, long-term supply.

In principle, yes, but the new systems are too expensive for the typical Indian hospital, who is in the market for refurbished first generation MRI machines. Will change over time slowly…

This was a great read, like the infographs!! I was just down the critical minerals rabbit hole looks like i am going down this one next.

I used Gemini / Notebook LM to do some of mine on Lithium before trying out Quarto

Glad you enjoyed it - I use NotebookLM as a smart bibliography for all my writing now
