AXEL MEISEN:  <\/strong><em> I think a very important part of science that we need to think about and we have to do something about is the field of health sciences.    We all know that being healthy is key to one&rsquo;s present and to one&rsquo;s future.  We all know that the health care system is currently experiencing major cost pressures and those will not go away.  We know that many Canadians are not as healthy as they would like to be, So I think there is an opportunity here to enable people to understand the science of health much, much better than what we are currently doing,<\/em> <\/p>\n<p> Dr. Axel Meisen is looking forward to combining his Foresight work in Alberta with the UNESCO mandate to resolving important health concerns.  <\/p>\n<p><em> Thanks today to<strong> Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<p> <strong>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/> I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\">Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Alberta Innovates launched its consolidation on November 1, 2016<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et-waypoint et_pb_image et_pb_animation_off et_pb_image_5 et_always_center_on_mobile et_pb_image_sticky et-animated\"> \t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/albertainnovates.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/tech_futures_v2_icon.png\" \/> \t\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>780-450-5111<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\/\">albertatechfutures.ca<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>250 Karl Clark Road,<br \/>Edmonton, Alberta, Canada<br \/>T6N 1E4<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/AI_Tech_RGB_smallForWeb.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-06-03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some people, one job just isn&rsquo;t enough.
