We'd like to highlight some of the research and education endeavours our customers are undertaking. After all, it is our customers that have supported us through the last twenty years. Plus, each User in Focus story is an interesting read. Enjoy.
The first instalment is literally out-of-this-world. New stories will be added throughout the year, so do come back on a regular basis.
Read about a group of Canadian researchers using PowerLab to investigate how life on the International Space Station affects astronauts' cardiovascular
and cerebrovascular physiology.
LabTutor software has been one of our most innovative developments for life science teaching. Learn how the University of Otago and the University of Western Sydney are using LabTutor to enhance introductory physiology courses during the first year of health science and medicine degrees.
In 2007, the effect of climate change on notothenioid fish prompted researchers from New Zealand and Sweden to pack up their PowerLab systems and travel to the Scott Base in Antarctica. The researchers investigated how a rise in water temperature affects the cardiovascular and respiratory physiology of the borch.
