Digital Twin & Offshore Wind
Constructing offshore winds farms is a complicated business, especially when all your equipment and supplies have to travel through a single, near-by Port.The Port of Esbjerg, in Denmark is a port which already specialises in port services for the offshore wind industry. They have specialised facilities and flexible areas for transporting, pre-assembling, shipping out and servicing large offshore wind turbines. But even a highly specialised Port can potentially manage their facilities better. A digital twin is helping the Port understand changes they can make which could triple their throughput within the next two years. Impressive!https://renews.biz/83139/digital-twin-could-help-port-esbjerg-triple-capacity/

First-ever Bee Vaccine approved
The US Dept of Agriculture has approved a vaccine for honeybees to prevent further devastation to the insects, who are key to the global food supply. The vaccine, developed by Georgia-based biotech Dalan Animal Health, is targeting American Foulbrood, a widespread deadly disease in Australia, US and globally, caused by Paenibacillus larvae bacteria.To administer the novel vaccine, beekeepers can mix it into the feed the worker bees consume and then feed to the queen.This is great news as the company proposes to use the format of this vaccine to target other diseases that honeybees face. https://www.cnet.com/science/biology/first-ever-honeybee-vaccine-approved-to-target-deadly-global-disease/

Social Media Platform that Connects People with Similar Health Conditions
Users upload data from their healthcare provider – anonymously and for free – and receive a notification to say how many people are clinically alike, with each one scored out of 100 for “alike-ness”. Users can then reach out to each other and chat. The alternative – a simple internet search – may allow a fibromyalgia sufferer, for example, to find a relevant group or forum. But narrowing the field to find people who also have Crohn’s disease and anxiety would be tricky... Australia is tipped for expansion in the near future.
