Medtech, Wearables & Innovation #ESR workshop was really informative - tracking Covid19 patients from Datamine, cool scientists @callaghannz sharing their work and @ESRNewZealand's work on whole genome sequencing. Thank you a for having #medtechcore on the panel too. – at Auckland, New Zealand
Came across this bit of history on corona viruses. Nice read. @WiHT19 @ChiefSciAdvisor @ABIaucklandacnz @77Duddy – at Auckland, New Zealand

Makarena and her #medtechcore collaborator Marcus King make an awesome team. Nice collaboration between @BrainResearchNZ and #medtechcore.

The effects of vaping are definitely not well understood @ABIaucklandacnz. We need to understand how this affects our health before adopting it because "it is safer" than cigarettes.
Here's a great opinion piece by our own @kellyburrowes about the dangers of vaping 👀 newsroom.co.nz/2019/11/28/92…
