Welcome back to the Weekly Links Roundup on Pulse + Signal. This is the section every Friday where I pull together interesting links from the week that didn’t get covered here on the blog. Many of you know that I love information and wish I could clone myself to be in multiple places at once. Since that cannot happen, I figured this would be the next best thing.
There is also now a Facebook Page for Pulse + Signal where more content around health innovation is shared and discussions are very much encouraged.
