This week, NPR is dropping the mic and using Twitter to depict a different story on technology and entrepreneurship in the U.S.
The NoMa-headquartered organization has selected 24 technologists and founders from various backgrounds to live-tweet a day of their working lives.
Among them are three D.C.-area figures: Stephanie Hill, VP at Lockheed Martin’s Ship & Aviation Systems. She took to the Twitters on Monday:

On Tuesday, catch Eastern Foundry cofounder Andrew Chang:
