The Best Tweets From ideacity: Day Three, Part Two

Zoomer | June 15th, 2012

Day three kicked off with Michael Ward-Bergeman charming the audience with his impressive accordion performance. And then speakers Andre Picard, Marcus Laux, Mark Liponis opened our eyes about the Canadian health care system and the importance of taking care of our bodies. After a break, we went under the sea with Andrew Sharpless, Edith Widder spoke about our fishing infrastructure and the trend of marine ecosystem degradation.
