The principal is very entrepreneurial. If we are co-located we have more of an opportunity to build and grow things together.’ - via @EdspaceHoxton ‘We work with a network of school chains; Ark and Oasis academies, for example. They will trial the products, give feedback, potentially become first customers’ - @EmergeLabs ‘There are 5 million people in the world today who won’t have access to safe and affordable surgery.’ - via @OpenSimulation ‘We need to drastically increase surgical training and the surgical workforce.’ - via @OpenSimulation ‘We started with a pizza box; from a pizza box we moved to a box file to the current wooden box.
