An older bearded man in a white shirt sits in a post office, with a computer screen and various items displayed behind him. An older woman with short and glasses is smiling while pointing at a flip chart covered with handwritten notes. She wears a blue polka-dot shirt and a wristwatch. A blurred hand in the foreground is also pointing at the chart. The setting is a bright meeting room. An older woman with short black hair in a pink sweater is holding a small bowl while surrounded by stacked dishes and kitchen items. An older man is standing in a workshop, wearing a black work jacket, red protective gloves, and a welding helmet flipped up. He holds a welding torch in his gloved hands. The background shows a busy industrial setting with metal structures, tools, and another worker handling equipment.

Enjoying a deeply insightful tour of the intersection of research & global health threats & opportunities with Dr Kumanan Rasanathan (WHO) prefaced by an eerily prophetic Yeats quote for our times!
