  • 6 - The Future of Public Health Data

    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.”

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.
