The interdisciplinary nature of Public Health interconnected with many disciplines. That was the reason I decided to study this field

Great sentence from a chapter I am reading. "Government is responsible for striving to achieve a balance between the two great concerns in the American public philosophy: individual liberty and free enterprise on the one hand, just and equitable action for the good of the community on the other." The book is the 'The Future of Public Health' by the Institute of Medicine

We continue to reflect on the Gaylord Anderson Memorial Lecture that Sandro Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, recently gave at our school. As with all his writing and speaking, Dean Galea engaged us with his intelligence, humor, and rigorous adherence to facts as he reviewed the state of health in the U.S. and our field's response to COVID-19. Although we did a lot of things right during the pandemic, Dean Galea also talked about how we faltered. He offered a better way forward and suggested that as public health professionals, we need: 1. Epistemic humility (to be humble about what we know and don't know) 2. Radical compassion (to understand far better the real burdens people face) 3. Reform through reason (to act boldly to reform the system, but be pragmatic and bring people along, no matter their politics)
