The Health Zone had an initial busy week with many questions and comments, which then calmed down in the second week. The engineers in the zone were very engaging with the students. The chats were sometimes very hectic. Several chats had only one or two engineers present facing a large volume of questions from students.

Popular topics in live chats included intense debate on animal testing (vivisection), gender balance in engineering, the role of nanotechnology in medicine (and in general) and cures for cancer. Students were also interested in career advice for a role in engineering, earnings, lifestyle and the future plans of the engineers.
