Throughout his presentation, Josh will discuss his life as an astronaut, while he waits for a flight assignment and his work representing the CSA at NASA. Josh will focus on the common challenges astronauts face in space with communities in remote and isolated environments and the scientific experiments currently being done on the International Space Station. He will highlight the principal concerns for astronauts on long-duration spaceflights and the considerations we must take before venturing deeper into the cosmos. Josh will present the various fields of activity and technologies in health and biomedicine where the Canadian Space Agency and the rest of Canada could make an important contribution. Finally, he will conclude his presentation by highlighting the current and upcoming space missions you need to keep your eyes on.

There was the corporate transformation in early 2000, called as "Second Foundation". Fujifilm was successful to expand the business by diversifying into four key areas. The business expansion into the target areas has been continuously aggressive. The health care area focus is the key driving factor of the corporate mission. The audience is going to hear about the visionary plan of the future of Fujifilm.

How far away are we from mainstream personalised medicine? What investments should be done today to make that happen? Do we need to further explore cross disciplinary approaches or intersections of knowledge systems? How are artificial intelligence and machine learning influencing research developments? Will equitable access feature in the future of healthcare and development of medicines?
