Informatics in the Round
That's a Wrap! Celebrating Five Years of Informatics in the Round

Well, here we are—the final episode of Informatics in the Round (we think!). After five incredible years, 38 episodes, and thousands of listeners, we've decided it's time to wrap up this journey. But first, we're taking a minute (or maybe two hours) to reflect on this wild ride—and we've brought some people you might recognize! In this episode, we pull some clips from the archive to help us look back at our best moments, favorite topics, and silliest slip-ups over the years. We take you through our “Top 5” topics that we loved to talk about the most: electronic health records, patient privacy, public health, health equity, and AI. We will also share some stories you didn't hear (like that time we forgot to hit records—oops), how the pandemic reshaped our personal and professional lives, and the lessons that will stick with us. To lead us through our Top 5, we invited back some of our favorite guests to reflect and discuss the future of the field:  Dr. Yaa Kumah-Crystal, MD, MPH, MS, is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Pediatric Endocrinology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center whose research focuses on documentation in healthcare communication. Dr. Ellen Wright Clayton, JD, MD, is a professor of Pediatrics, Law, and Health Policy at Vanderbilt University Law School and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Her research focuses on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genomics research. Dr. Melissa McPheeters, PhD, MPH, is the Senior Director for Analytics at RTI International, as well as an esteemed epidemiologist and public health informatician. Her work focuses on building interdisciplinary teams to address complex problems across health, public health, and data modernization processes. Dr. Consuelo H. Wilkins, MD, is the Senior Vice President and Senior Associate Dean of Health Equity at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Associate Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. Her work attempts to bring together community stakeholders and create collaboration initiatives to improve community health and biomedical research. Dr. Chris Callison-Burch, PhD, MS, is a Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on natural language processing and generative AI. So, is this really goodbye? Maybe, maybe not. We can never sit still for long. But for now, let's raise a glass, share a few laughs, and remember the good ol' times! We can't leave without saying thank you to all of you for being part of the ride, for listening to us on your jog or your commute, and for engaging critically with all we've had to say. It's been an honor. Thank you to all the guests who have joined us throughout the last five years. Thank you for contributing your expertise, your lived experiences, and your unfiltered thoughts. Thank you to the musicians who bravely stepped into conversations about topics they knew little about and for offering up their questions. You ensured we spoke to everyone, and your music said the rest of what our words couldn't convey. To all our guests, your generosity with your time and your knowledge is what made this podcast what it was. Our mission was always to make informatics intelligible so that you and all your friends and family can engage confidently with the topic. We hope you now have the language to feel empowered navigating this crazy, awesome, flawed, fascinating healthcare system.  For now, this is Kevin Johnson, Harris Bland, and Ellie Shuert signing off!

In the year prior to his assassination, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King isolated himself in a house in Jamaica where he wrote what was to become his final book. King said he felt at home there: “In Jamaica I feel like a human being.” “One day, here in America,” said King, “I hope that we will see this and we will become one big family of Americans.” 50 years later, it is an aching American tragedy that we find ourselves with issues of race, arguably, as emotional, divisive and consequential as in King's time. The culmination of King's thinking in Jamaica ultimately became the book “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?” In it he offers this stark warning: “Together we must learn to live together as brothers or together we will be forced to perish as fools.” Our failure to “live together as brothers” has gone to seed in what increasingly feels like the chaos King foreshadowed. But right beside his tragic premonition of our future is also his uncanny prescription of a path forward. To King the answer lies, at least in part, with community. At the Village Square, we've long believed that the revival of American geographic community across differences of opinion and demographics is ultimately the only thing that can save us. No matter how profound our disagreement runs, we're still neighbors whose lives intersect. As we consider how to move forward together, we are inspired by insights from Neil Phillips' Race to Truth talks for which he won The Nantucket Project Audience Award multiple times.  Neil is an educator, entrepreneur, public speaker, coach and youth advocate.  Neil founded Visible Men Acadamy, a charter school for at-risk boys of color. He is currently serving as the first ever Chief Diversity Officer for The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Also featured in this program:  Chuck Hobbs joins us for a cameo appearance to share a story about growing up in a racially divided town.  Chuck is a criminal defense and civil rights attorney who has tried many high-profile cases, including two jury trials that aired on Court TV.  Chuck is also a freelance writer and political commentator, appearing on CNN, Fox News, E! and other major networks.   Funding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The topic of racial justice and the quest for it has been reignited by Americans with a fervor that has not been seen for decades. Black Americans have borne the brunt of racial injustices consistently throughout our country's history; now they are calling all of us to a new awareness of the continuing tragedy. The murder of George Floyd and so many more Black women and men by law enforcement was only made more startling when pinned against the backdrop of this past year's struggle with COVID-19. R.A.C.E. Matters was conceived as a way to center Black voices in a small, very white community on the Central Coast of California. Today we'll speak to Courtney Haile, founder of R.A.C.E. Matters, and J.P., member of Black Lives Matter Community Action-San Luis Obispo, to learn how the tide is being turned and how we can all help to realize liberation and belonging for everyone.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s foundational text "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?" to approach the next school year. Andrea and Shauna also discuss how teacher diversity relates to Dr. King's concept of “the world house,” the relationship between education and social action, and the pros and cons of teachers either waiting for a DEI program to implement or taking messy action towards equity without one.

"Power at its best, is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love."  - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.     This message from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is timeless.        And it is the inspiration for today's podcast episode.     These are critically important times we are living in, important for the future of our planet, our culture, and the world we want to live in and pass on to future generations.     Today on the podcast, I am asking us to reflect on our beliefs, decisions, and actions through the lens of our shared humanity.  And we will do just this by taking a deeper dive into the following current events:    US Thanksgiving- On the 4th Thursday in the month of November, the US celebrates the national holiday of Thanksgiving.  Also, the 4th Thursday in the month of November is observed as a National Day Of Mourning for many Native Americans, and their supporters.  American society renders Native Americans and their culture as invisible- it's past time to reimagine how we can create a more just and inclusive culture by examining our own actions and beliefs when it comes to Thanksgiving.   2020 US Presidential Election- The President Elect is Joe Biden and his term starts when he is inaugurated in January 2021. However, Trump and the Republican Party are taking actions to disenfranchise the votes of hundreds of thousands of Black Americans. From the founding of the US-the enslaved were viewed as less than human and this dehumanization is codified in the US Constitution.  Systemic racism continues to be a barrier to Black Americans- and we are seeing this occur in how Trump and the Republican Party are seeking to throw away the votes of Black Americans were Biden won the election. This is a direct assault on American citizens and how democracy is supposed to work- it's past time to hold all elected officials accountable to ensuring the democratic process is equitable and available to all.    COVID19 Pandemic- We are continuing to see record infection rates of COVID19.   Poor people, women, and people of color are disproportionately negatively impacted by health and economic impact of the COVI19. This is not just about our individual liberties and freedoms to go where we want to go and do what we want to do.  We don't live in isolation.  For the love of our shared humanity, let's protect each other when it comes to this virus. And so instead of thinking of these as three distinct topics, I decided to talk about the common thread that runs through each of these topics- and that common thread is our shared humanity.     This is an important episode.

In response to the recent events in the US, Faith Fuller is asking: Where do we go from here? This is the same question Martin Luther King Jr wrote a book about in 1967 titled, ‘Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?’ And to quote king himself: ““In the days ahead we must not consider it unpatriotic to raise certain basic questions about our national character.” So in this episode, Faith questions what more we can be doing as individuals to take a stand against racism? What are the next steps we can take towards a different kind of future? Whilst one person might not change the world, what they do- or don’t do- will be having an impact and creating a ripple effect.

Allyn Media's podcast Deconstructing Dallas is launching a new series inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s book 'Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?' Join hosts Shawn Williams and Ryan Trimble as they explore how people are feeling about the death of George Floyd and racism in the United States. Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 analysis of the state of American race relations after a decade of U.S. civil rights struggles and social unrest. In the book, he shares his thoughts and plans on the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education in America. He demands an end to global suffering, powerfully asserting that humankind - for the first time - has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty. In the first installment of this series, Father Josh Whitfield of St. Rita Catholic Church addresses racism in America. On Pentecost Sunday, Father Josh delivered a timely homily that focused on how America can come to term with racism and privilege. Father Josh expands on his thoughts around the role of faith leaders in our country, the political and economic decisions that have harmed Black America and viewing the killing of black men as a social sin. As a white faith leader with an understanding and frustration of these current events darkening our world and taking lives, Father Josh shares his message on why the time to do better is now.Links: Father Josh's Pentecost Homily - Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYSCmQvRCQEFather Josh's Pentecost Homily - Transcripthttp://fatherjoshuawhitfield.com/homily-pentecost-and-george-floydMusic on this episode:Bossa Antigua by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3454-bossa-antiguaLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Too Cool by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-coolLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Digya by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3649-digyaLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Galway by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3795-galwayLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Opportunity Walks by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4173-opportunity-walksLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Cool Rock by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3552-cool-rockLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In Episode 52, Quinn & Brian ask (using their best Seinfeld impression): What’s the deal with the Green New Deal? Our guest is Varshini Prakash, a founder of the Sunrise Movement, a veritable army of young folks fighting to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We think Varshini will be, no exaggeration, one of the most instrumental people in American politics (and for the future health of our planet) over the next couple years. The Sunrise Movement’s army is comprised of ordinary people who are scared about what the climate crisis means for the people and places they love. They aren’t looking to the Left or the Right to solve the problem – they’re looking forward to unite millions of people and reclaim our democracy from the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executive and those who empower them. The cornerstone of this movement is the Green New Deal, a plan that will transform our economy and society at the scale needed to stop the climate crisis. So this summer, thousands of people from Sunrise will descend on one of the first Democratic Presidential debates to #ChangeTheDebate and make sure the #GreenNewDeal is a top issue in the 2020 election. Like our friends Elsa Mengistu and Emelly Villa from episode 33, Varshini recognizes that #thisisZeroHour – and the Green New Deal is our chance to turn back the clock.
