]]> The Future of Public Health Data Mark Lerner, Flavia Chen 00:40:57 In this episode of Fellow Fellow, Mark talks to Flavia Chen, a public health researcher, on the current state and future paths of public health data. The conversation weaves through topics surrounding public health data and, as Flavia puts it, “what health related information is collected, who collects it, on whom, how it's used, how it's shared, how it's stored - and then at a more ethical level, how individual and collective rights, like privacy, are balanced with broader public interests.” In this episode of Fellow Fellow, Mark talks to Flavia Chen, a public health researcher, on the current state and future paths of public health data.

Gladden 00:41:07 It’s no secret that we will all have to change how we move and drive in order to slow the pace of climate change. However, as companies race to build technology and raise investments on both electric and self-driving cars, one factor still stands in the way of significant progress: public perception of these technologies. Listen in as Mark interviews Devin Gladden on his research on how we as a country feel about automated and electric vehicles, and what you personally can do to move these markets forward.
