Before this 10 December one, we have had 4 previous editions of the DMU Privacy Round Table with 5-30 participants each time, all of which have fed into our (Isabel Wagner, myself, and colleagues') research - papers, bids, even part inspired Isabel's book. Topics have included #smartmeters #DPIA #surveillance #healthdata #surveillancecapitalism #privacyrisk #dataprotection #privacy #research #focusgroups #practice.

Connected to medical people but not so many science people so here is an #introduction for #ScienceMastodon #AcademicMastodon

My #PhD in Amsterdam is on the topic of #LysosomalStorageDiseases. I research why current therapies don't solve the problems patients report in our outpatient clinic, mainly #fatigue.
