From the Sea to the Hill
Medica
Düsseldorf, Germany || November 11-14, 2024
Dick attended the annual Medica trade fair in Dusseldorf. We ran into Dan Rodenhaver from NIRSense showing their non-invasive monitoring technology. The timing of the event was perfect as it overlapped with the Cologne Karnival an annual event where the city goes crazy. Dick teamed up with some Burning Man friends to enjoy the event.
