The June Makers Meetup has it all: crazy disruptive med-tech (for use even by untrained consumers) - a self-funded David vs. many Goliaths - worldwide public health benefits -artificial intelligence - hometown heroes and, of course, Star Trek.
Ah yes, Star Trek. The original series profoundly changed our world culture ('I'm giving it all she's got, Captain'; 'Beam me up, Scotty'; and, perhaps most famously, may you 'Live long and prosper').
However, the technologies which Gene Roddenberry imagined have had an even greater impact. The dream of the 'Communicator' has become cellphones. Google has delivered on the idea of a 'Universal Translator'. And now, the 'Tricorder' has arrived to change the planet, 250 years ahead of schedule.
Joins us June 13th. The program begins at 5:00 with a table-top Showcase featuring DxtER and other great Philly biotech innovators including Biomeme and Lightning Packs.
Food and Drinks provided!
