As an inter-season special, we are delighted to be able to share an example of work completed for a client.
Tubular Cells is a piece of music inspired and driven by the electrical output from cultured brain cells. It's also the outcome of a collaboration between a group of scientists who came together to see if they could make an abstract idea a reality for no other reason than to see if they could, how it would turn out and because it would be fun.
In the episode we made for ApconiX on the Tubular Cells project, Paul explores the origin of the original idea and how the key players worked together to craft the final piece.

Recalling his time working in Sweden Paul Gisby had the recollection that Swedes did seem to place greater emphasis on the importance of the psychological safety of the work environment, even if the term itself was not used. In the latest episode of the Talking Leaders season of podcasts on Psychological Safety @Work, Paul interviews a Swedish former colleague Maja Marklund to ask, is his recollection correct? Are Swedes just good at this stuff?
