Thanks to Tom Evens and the conference organisers for such a great event, as well as Mads Astvad (ScanFOAM) for managing to rescue the audio! Mads also put together the video version below:

Words of Wisdom

• “We have room to act, to shape our stories, though as time goes on it is within narrower and narrower confines. A few conclusions become clear when we understand this: that our most cruel failure in how we treat the sick and the aged is the failure to recognize that they have priorities beyond merely being safe and living longer; that the chance to shape one’s story is essential to sustaining meaning in life; that we have the opportunity to refashion our institutions, our culture, and our conversations in ways that transform the possibilities for the last chapters of everyone’s lives.”
  — Atul Gawande, Being Mortal:: Illness, Medicine and What Matters in the End
