Pulse+IT had a very leisurely summer holiday, thank you very much, including plenty of time for summer reading. This included perusing a stunning profile of Epic founder Judy Faulkner in the New York Times just before Christmas that we highly recommend you take a look at.

Epic's headquarters in rural Wisconsin includes a treehouse, a Humpty Dumpty sculpture and a conference room reached by way of a rickety bridge. The article itself has a fascinating profile of Ms Faulkner, who has long been of interest to the health IT industry despite flying very much under the radar of the wider industry.
