HPC in Health - keynote by Amanda Randles
Healthcare today is reactive. We treat crises after they happen. Digital twins make it proactive - preventing them.
In the future, we won't be asking if you HAVE a digital twin. We'll ask HOW your digital twin helped keep you healthy.

It‘s the end of the semester!
It‘s excursion time!
Today I took my InterMaths students on a guided tour to finally see the hardware they were using during the labs.
