Deep technology is defined by most as technologies based on ‘tangible engineering innovations or scientific discoveries’. Except that deep tech isn’t really meant to be ‘science for the sake ofContinue reading “An Intro to Deep Tech”
The Case for the Split PhD
From vaccines to solar cells, the kind of tech we need to solve some of the world’s biggest problems tends to be generated in labs by scientific researchers with ‘Doctor’ in front of their names. However, in the UK, only 0.5% of STEM PhD students choose to license or spin-out their research every year intoContinue reading “The Case for the Split PhD”
The Translational Research (TR) Index
From my experience as a Masters student in med tech, it can be difficult to understand the wider impact of your research and its potential for being translated into a usable tool for clinicians. This can be frustrating, particularly if you, like me, are more drawn to the potential applications of your work, as opposedContinue reading “The Translational Research (TR) Index”
