However, with many laboratories lagging behind in terms of technological and digital progression, productivity levels in science are not what they could be, a factor which undoubtedly slows advances in science. To prepare for future pandemics and other challenges we will inevitably face, we must implement technologies that will improve our efficiency in the laboratory, research centres and our hospitals. In doing so, we will not only offset the burden on our health workers and scientists, but we will also maximise the opportunities disruptive technologies create.For the fourth consecutive year, the US government called for major cuts to science and health agencies with the exemption of certain favoured research, deemed “essential to national security”.
