Valovanje rentgenske svetlobe je tako kratko, da je primerljivo z dimenzijami atomov. Če hočemo rentgensko svetlobo fokusirati, moramo tudi leče narediti z atomsko natančnostjo. »Kot da imamo sto metrov dolgo tekaško progo, ki jo moramo narediti z natančnostjo človeškega lasu,« je opisala potrebno natančnost večslojnih leč dr. Saša Bajt, ki vodi svojo raziskovalno skupino na Centru za znanosti z laserji na proste elektrone CFEL, ki deluje v okviru instituta Desy v nemškem Hamburgu. Ločljivost leč, ki jih razvija, je danes že pod 3 nanometri. Ko je v začetku leta 2022 nastal pričujoči pogovor, se je približevala ločljivosti 4 nanometrov. Sicer pa je kariera Saša Bajt polna presežkov in zanimivih raziskovalnih projektov. Tako je preučevala sploh prve vzorce kakega kometa, ki jih je Nasa pripeljala na Zemljo, sodelovala pa je tudi pri razvoju tehnologije, s katero se danes izdelujejo najsodobnejši čipi na svetu. Vabljeni k poslušanju pogovora. Gre za ponovitev oddaje, ki je bila prvič predvajana marca 2022.

Valovanje rentgenske svetlobe je tako kratko, da je primerljivo z dimenzijami atomov. Če hočemo rentgensko svetlobo fokusirati, moramo tudi leče narediti z atomsko natančnostjo. Najnovejši dosežek dr. Saše Bajt, ki vodi svojo raziskovalno skupino na Centru za znanosti z laserji na proste elektrone CFEL, ki deluje v okviru instituta Desy v nemškem Hamburgu, se bliža ločljivosti 4 nanometrov. Članek je pred objavo. S tem je za polovico izboljšala svoj prejšnji rekord, ko je leta 2017 dosegla ločljivost 8nm. »Kot da imamo sto metro dolgo tekaško progo, ki jo moramo narediti z natančnostjo človeškega lasu,« opisuje potrebno natančnost večslojnih leč dr. Saša Bajt. Z večjo ločljivostjo se seveda hitro izboljšujejo možnosti, kaj lahko vse vidimo. Osrednja prednost rentgenskih mikroskopov pa je predvsem v tem, da lahko na ta način raziskujemo vzorce v vodi, v zraku, naprave med delovanjem, možno je videti tridimenzionalne slike tkiv, kar vse z drugimi mikroskopi, ki zahtevajo na posebne načine pripravljene vzorce, ni mogoče.

Après une carrière dans différentes caisses en France dont la CPAM du 94 qu'il dirigea, Eric Pavy est depuis mars 2020, Directeur Général de la Caisse des Français de l'étranger. Nous l'avons rencontré avec cette fin d'année pour faire le point sur 2 années de pandémie et l'application des réformes votées en 2018.la CFE : 200 000 assurés volontairesMalgré l'évolution de l'expatriation qui a entrainé une réduction du nombre d'assurés dans le cadre d'un contrat d'entreprise, la Caisse des Français maintient le volume d'assurés. De nombreuses familles qui ont fait le choix de quitter la France ont décidé de couvrir le risque maladie à travers la CFE.Une bonne nouvelle pour l'organisme mutualiste qui est principalement autofinancé et quoi maintenir un équilibre financier. Avec 150 millions d'euros de cotisations apportés par les assurés, la CFE finira cette année en déficit. Grâce à un subtil dispositif de réserve, sa « santé financière » n'est pas en danger.La réforme de la CFEL'équilibre financier passe aussi par la réforme voulue par le législateur en 2018. Simplification des produits d'assurance commercialisés par la Caisse des Français de l'étranger, contrôle des remboursements et recouvrement des cotisations sont les piliers de la pérennité de la CFE.Eric Pavy revient en détail sur les avantages du système sans ignorer les incompréhensions avec les assurés-séniors en particulier. Expliquant la genèse de l'augmentation que nos ainés ont du affronter, il explique aussi les garde-fous mis en place par le législateur pour permettre à tous de rester correctement assurés.Rattachée la CFE à la sécurité sociale ?La CFE, par nature, est une caisse de sécurité sociale. Dès l'origine, on a regroupé du personnel des URSSAF et de la Sécurité sociale pour constituer la CFE.Cependant, si la CFE est une caisse de sécurité sociale, elle n'est pas du régime général et doit s'auto-financer. Eric Pavy vous explique dans le podcast le fonctionnement.La Carte vitale et remboursementsSimplifiant les démarches lors de venue, la CFE est le seul organisme qui peut délivrer la carte Vitale à des non-résidents. Elle permet d'accélérer les remboursements des prestations faites en France. Eric Pavy annonce que tous les assurés, éligibles, recevront leur carte avant la fin de l'année 2022.Un changement de rythme de remboursement que la direction de la Caisse des Français de l'étranger veut voir appliqué à tous les soins où qu'ils aient été réalisés dans le monde. Informatisation des services, dématérialisation, la CFE a ouvert de nombreux chantiers qu'elle mènera avec le soutien des nouveaux élus qui vont renouveler son conseil d'administration dans quelques semaines.Renouer le lien avec les assurésQue ce soit au plus près d'eux où lors de leur voyage à Paris, la CFE veut renforcer son lien avec les assurés.Dans les pays de résidence, la CFE multiplie les accords avec des groupements d'hôpitaux et de médecins pour simplifier la prise en charge des malades comme les remboursements qui pourront atteindre 100% dans certains cas.Au quotidien, la refonte du site internet et de l'ergonomie de son affichage permettent un suivi en temps réel du traitement des requêtes. Et car une relation ne se construit pas qu'en distanciel, Eric Pavy annonce l'ouverure prochaine d'une maison de la CFE à proximité de la gare St Lazare. Elle permettra aux assurés lors de leur passage en France de prendre contact physiquement avec un interlocuteur. Cet espace, dont l'ouv

The Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL) talked to Dr Helen Lee, Director of Research, Department of Haematology, University of Cambridge and Founder Diagnostics for the Real World about her very considerable experiences in diagnostics, founding companies, and the need to develop usable products for people in the developing world. Helen received her PhD from Cornell University and MSc from Oxford University. After post-doctoral training at Churchill Hospital in Oxford, the University of Geneva and St Louis Hospital in Paris, she began her career in diagnostics at the Centre National de Transfusion Sanguine in Paris where she was responsible for developing monoclonal blood typing reagents, the first widely used liquid blood typing reagents in Paris. Another major accomplishment of her group was one of the first monoclonal antibody based assays for hepatitis B surface antigen, which was subsequently licensed to the Pasteur Institute as the MONLISA HBsAg assay and is still on the market today. She then joined Abbott Laboratories to be responsible for Research & Development, and was promoted to General Manager of the Probe Diagnostics Business Unit where she managed over 100 people and an annual budget of >$20 million. She was also responsible for production of instruments as well as chemistry, marketing, quality and regulatory affairs of the product line. After leaving Abbott she founded a biotech company, Sentinel Biosciences Inc. in Palo Alto, CA, developing technologies for virus discovery. The company was successfully sold to one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. In 1996, she left industry for the University of Cambridge in order to focus on the development of technology and diagnostic assay for resource-poor settings. To commercialise the technologies developed at Cambridge, she founded the spin off company, Diagnostics for the Real World Ltd (DRW), in 2002. Awards: Dr Lee chaired the Diagnostic Steering Committee at the World Health Organization (WHO). She is the recipient of the 2005 Lord Lloyd Kilgerran Award, the 2006 British Female Inventor in Industry Award, the 2006 European Women of Achievement Award and the 2007 Asian Women of Achievement Award (presentation as pdf). The products and technologies developed by DDU scientists received the Medical Futures Innovation Award (UK) for its innovative sample collection device and more recently, the 2007 Tech Museum Innovation Award (US) for innovation in the Health Category, in recognition of the Signal Amplification technology, which greatly improves the sensitivity of rapid test for the detection of infectious diseases (see video interview) (hear audio interview). The unit has filed 12 families of patent applications, with 20 granted or allowed national patents, detailing inventions that improve the performance of rapid diagnostic test.

Chris Barnardo & Richard Blakesley, Co-Founders of The Wand Company, speaking on the topic 'Creating Star Teams' at the CfEL Enterprise Tuesday lecture series in February 2013. The most frequently cited reason for the success or failure of a venture is whether or not the team (as defined by its composition, experience, expertise, chemistry, soft skills, shared purpose and values) is effectively formed and developed. This session focuses on entrepreneurial teams, the role of the ‘Alpha entrepreneur’, ‘born or made’ leadership qualities, characteristics and competences; the ability to change and the ability to manage detail. It will consider the point of view of investors, i.e. what they look for, how they make judgements, when they make changes and how they find talent. What will you gain from this session? This practitioner-led talk is an opportunity to understand more about the formation, shared vision and development of good entrepreneurial teams and how they build businesses. It will explain the need for the founder role to evolve and how entrepreneurs can influence the investor.

Rahul Vohra, CEO & Co-Founder of Rapportive and Dr Shamus Husheer, CEO of Cambridge Temperature Concepts, speaking on the topic 'Serendipity or Hard Work' at the Enterprise Tuesday lecture series on 27th Nov 2012. Successful entrepreneurs are often dismissed as having had a bit of good luck. Entrepreneurs too, are sometimes tempted to ascribe their progress to luck or serendipity – 'Things happen!' What is the reality of entrepreneurial success or indeed failure? How much can we rely on our own endeavours? How much do we have to wait for external conditions to change and go in our favour? Is it about the luck of being in the right place at the right time? Markets, technologies, social trends, access to funding finding the first customer but perhaps not where you were looking are all cases that challenge the rational model for enterprise development. This session is delivered by two young, charismatic entrepreneurs both of whom are experiencing success but in different ways. Dr Shamus Husheer completed his PhD at Cambridge, while Rahul Vohra took leave from his PhD and went to Silicon Valley with his co-founders to pursue his entrepreneurial dream. Shamus is building a business from Cambridge and Rahul has already made an exit by selling his venture to LinkedIn.

Shaun Fitzgerald, Co-Founder and Director of Breathing Buildings Ltd, and Will West, CEO of CellCentric Ltd, speaking on the topic of gathering resources at the Enterprise Tuesday lecture series in November 2010. Shaun Fitzgerald of Breathing Buildings addresses how he went about getting the resources he needed to bring the vision of Breathing Buildings to life. He also addresses the issue of how to reward the very talent you need. Will West combines his scientific training as an immunologist and virologist with industry expertise. He is also on a number of industry boards and panels. All this gives him his perspective that when you think of resources you need to think of them on an international basis, because in technology you cannot think about starting on a local basis. Both agree that you have to think on multiple dimensions about resources, so there is not just a single resource element that solves all problems. You have to think about money, equipment, business development expertise, beta trial customers etc. as resources, all of which you need now, in plenty, and for almost no cost! So how do you go about getting all this together to give your company a chance at success?
