University of California, USABalloon Debate – What has the best long-term potential for Flash for clinical application?
Friday, 2 December 2022 | 16:50- 17:35 CET
In the balloon debate, four different speakers will each present an argument and try to win approval from the audience. The last person in the balloon wins the debate.
The session concept is inspired by the idea that a hot air balloon has a puncture, which means that it needs to jettison some of those travelling within it if anyone is going to survive. The person presenting the best argument in the balloon debate “survives” by remaining in the balloon.
