Manage episode 329066692 series 3351866
We all drank more coffee when we were younger. But how do you stay Healthy as an Engineer? We talk about electro shocks to the crotch, how a pandemic can be the third driver for innovation, about VR and equipment for VR workouts, why engineers against all cliches are very sporty, how you can train your posture with tech gadgets, EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) and running a world record on a treadmill together with other virtual runners.
