Where do we come from? When did life on Earth begin? What is the history of our planet? These basic questions still remain difficult to answer. Our Earth has lost its memory leaving a blank page over a billion years after its formation. If Mars appears at first sight the antithesis of our planet, it is in fact the best analog that is close enough to us to study from a distance. Understanding the geology of Mars allows us to trace the history of our planet in its most ancient times. May our origins be buried in Martian lands?

What is teleconsultation? How is it performed? Who can benefit from it? Professor Jacques Cinqualbre, founder of HOPI Medical will present the ins and outs of teleconsultation, from its scientific challenges to its current development. A demo will be given during the presentation.
