Last weekend, we had a wonderful, small in-person conference (https://lnkd.in/emuTMMTq) in Bern, Switzerland, with inspiring speakers (tagging Jasper Götting as an example, as he's featured in this picture with his talk on biosecurity, one of High Impact Medicine's focus areas). We also had, among others, Jonathan Leighton speaking on the ethics of suffering and David McKinney speaking on reducing microbial resistance. Thanks to everyone who made this day so special and to our lead volunteer, Claudia Reichmuth ✨

A big shout-out to Moneer Moukaddem, one of Hi-Med's Advisory Board members. He proactively offered to share his knowledge on how to run better meetings with our team and facilitated this month's Hi-Med internal skill-sharing session (last month's was facilitated by Vyshnavi Desiraju and Marie Firgau 🔸 on the topic of suicide prevention) 🏥 Let's continue to learn from each other and accelerate our growth!
