Fantastic initiative, and a real pleasure to be part of it. Hearing about the experiences of other centres across the globe makes clear how important but also how incredibly fragile the whole field is: most centres lack robust infrastructure support and investment, making it difficult to run and maintain activities and, especially, to build and secure the next generation(s) of scholars in the area. For example, for any PhD student we would like to support at the Centre for the Study of Philanthropy & Public Good, we need to find and secure a total funding of around £75,000-£120,000. Thereafter, to fund a single postdoctoral position one is looking at a minimum of £50,000 per annum (including National Insurance, pension, in costs, etc.) that need to be raised. Then, in the absence of any permanent positions in the area over here, all that investment, time, support, and the expertise that has been built over that period, currently often do not even benefit the Scottish (and at times European) philanthropy research field as early career colleagues are faced with an infinitesimally small number of national and international opportunities that might arise but, more likely than not, do not, leading to exits and brain drain from the field in general. So, assuming that one considers the field and its contributions to be important, there is some real work to be done about making it more sustainable in general, but also more attractive and accessible for younger researchers... Just some of the many issues that will need to be explored as part of our forthcoming workshop series “Together for Good: crafting Scotland’s philanthropic journey” - https://lnkd.in/e5tXgmZR

My currernt state of thinking: Every current technology has its trajectory: How and why it evolved as it is and how it will evolve depending on future technical improvements and - very significantly - future needs/demands. So, rather than just take the present states (of technology and needs) for granted and extrapolate from there, let us step back and let us fantasize about the future needs and technological possibilities - including an enormous potential of creativity and human adaptability (not immediate but long term!!!). E.g what kinds of mobility do we really, really wish, what comfort do we really, really wish/need, when there are much less constraints from present technologies? A plethora of scenarios opens up, both good and bad. Wise incentives for creativity can steer us towards the good ones. Maybe we engineers should teach politics some proven methods of opening the mind and then finding optimal solutions, including risk management and getting wiser stepwise?

Powerful words here from Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA and Richard Baron. And an important reminder for all of us involved in #healthcare that our industry is one of the few where you can do great good while simultaneously building great businesses.

📣 Up to 40% of women experience pelvic floor problems that negatively affect their health and psyche. NTC researchers at the University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen at Charles University, and the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg have therefore joined forces to develop a system for preventing pelvic floor disorders. 👉 The collaboration aims to create a modular non-invasive system for exercising pelvic muscles. The resulting functional prototype will help improve the quality of life for women aged 18 to 45 and simultaneously reduce the burden on the healthcare system. The European Union project is supported by the Ministerstvo pro místní rozvoj from European funds within the Interreg Bavaria-Czech Republic 2021-2027 program.

In response to Transmission Control's appre iated acknowledgement and posting, the reasons federal officials have not provided the public with clear advice about this gastroscope-related infection risk -- as also the risk disposable endcaps falling off of new #duodenosocope models inside patients during #ERCP -- is unclear to me. My recommendation -- see the call-out below, as I was the first to publish this concern -- to improve the reprocessing and safety of #gastroscopes is sound and evidence-based. #EGD #CDC #FDA The link to my original article from which this quote was taken is: https://lnkd.in/eeVPEXnQ

Why might four of MVA's colleagues be in Germany when MVA is a Danish-Swedish organization? By now you probably know that it is very important for us as cluster organization to support and facilitate cross-border life science collaborations in #MediconValley - and one of these, the #HALRIC project, involves not only Sweden and Denmark, but also Norway and Germany. So we are very actively involved in the project's second conference, which happens to take place in Hamburg today ✅ But there is more to it! This particular Scandinavian-German consortium also helps us think forward to the opening of the #FehmarnBelt fixed link. That new connection will bring the life science sector of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein much closer to Medicon Valley, the strongest life science cluster in the EU, enabling strong synergies. Therefore in this consortium we not only collaborate with research institutes, but also with regional governments and life science organizations - together developing future strengths of this combined region 💪 Mette Bach Dyremose, Maria Sundh, Claus Højlund, Stephan Bouman HALRIC Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure Consortium City of Hamburg, Klaus von Lepel, Sarah Marshall-Bensch Region Skåne, Eskil Mårtensson, Marie-Louise Lövgren Region Hovedstaden, Jakob Øster Life Science Nord, Sarah Niemann, Oliver Schacht Medicon Village, Petter Magnusson Hartman
