In the Glaslaboratorium at Strijp T, we saw Brainport's inspiring inspiration session technology in healthcare on 12th November.
It was organized by Colab and @Techmatters, thanks to Health~Holland. It was an inspiration session to brainstorm together about how we can develop innovations in healthcare for the future. There were many participants and guest speakers talk about their projects and ideas for the future. It was an interactive day as result more collaboration and sharing more succes stories.
Our reporter Susan Smit saw a great eye opener for all visitors.
Don't forget to shift your wall clocks backwards by one hour this weekend! The Netherlands goes back to wintertime. CEST ends. What does that mean for our biological clock?

It is an invasion. The Japanese knotweed is considered to be one of the most invasive exotic plants. Once the plant has been established, it is very difficult to get rid of it. Due to its strong vigor, native plant species are displaced. Even the stinging nettle, the brandnetel, is overgrown. The strong rhizomes and stems of Japanese knotweed can cause damage to buildings, pipes and roads.
Authorities recommend to take action early on, and not to let the plant cover more than 1 square meter, as by then it quickly goes out of control. If it is in your garden, weed it out including the roote but you cannot and dump it as green waste, because it will spread. If you sell your house you have to report the knotweed in the same way as asbestos. Nonetheless it is making rapid inroads in Eindhoven public spaces and in this season it is spreading it seeds.

The smartest city in the world!? Well, during #carnaval it may be a culture shock to experience #lampegat; "Eindhoven de gekste". Salaai! We interrogate former stadsprins Joep Verheijen.
