ME-ARC Hosts Lightning Talks Event
In November 2024, the ME-ARC had 12 faculty members from both campuses and several departments (CAS, GSDM, Medicine, Public Health, Questrom, Sargent, Social Work, and VA Boston), present 5-minute lightning presentations on their recent work then held a group discussion among speakers, our leadership team, and faculty with similar research interests. Currently, we are planning to reconvene as a group to reflect on the event and materialize ideas on future directions of the ME-ARC and digital health research at BU. We hope that this event will serve as a catalyst to expand the ME-ARC and launch a center for digital health innovations.
