“It was really useful listening to Martin Hamilton explaining Blockchain and how it works, without being overly technical or at the same time too simplistic. Still plenty to learn about this new topic for me, but that was a great start.” – Yann Amouroux, Bioscientifica

OVERVIEW
There’s a lot of hype right now about blockchain, the technology that underpins the Bitcoin virtual currency, with speculation that it could transform just about every aspect of our lives. In this webinar I’ll consider possible blockchain applications in research and education, and do a little myth-busting about when and where it makes sense to use blockchain.
