❓ At yesterday's 'R&D for Global Good' event, we asked Médéric Engel, Students for Global Health Coordinator...

‘How can UK research and development benefit the world?’

He said…

🗣️ Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP’s response to the question: “What excites you about #AI ?”

“Education is the ladder out of poverty.

If you’re a girl in a #refugee camp, you’re extremely vulnerable. But through access to AI, you can ensure that girl receives the best maths lesson in world.”

🗣️ Sarion Bowers, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wellcome Sanger Institute:

The Sanger Institute is a microcosm of UK #science . We had 3️⃣ triumphs during the pandemic:

1️⃣: Vaccine development 
2️⃣: Recovery clinical trials 
3️⃣: Genomic sequencing

The stage is set for the panel discussion!
