Abstract
01:01:01 Dr. Sobel: Good evening, everyone. And I would like to start by thanking all the panelists for being here, and we’re delighted we have at least as many participants in the audience as the panel. So Veterans’ Day is a very special day. It commemorates not only public service, but service in the future. And the one characteristic of complex emergency is that you never know who the heroes and the servers are going to be in a complex emergency. Often people are unrecognized and unappreciated until long after the disaster has passed, and the recovery phase has begun. But, I think the purpose of a panel like this is to really emphasize not only the interdisciplinary, but transdisciplinary value of knowledge and capability that is brought to bear in a response in any public health emergency. But, it also brings upon us a number of opportunities to question the things that we do, and the constructs that we teach, and hence, the opportunity here for us all to learn from this emergency.
