Dr. Mark Rosenberg - President Emeritus, The Task Force for Global Health

“Science is the only thing that can get us out of it.” That’s the conclusion of Dr. Mark Rosenberg, who says finding a way to balance the needs of public health and economic recovery in the wake of COVID-19 must be guided by facts. After a long, admirable career tackling public health issues in the U.S. and abroad, including knotty problems like gun safety, Rosenberg says solving complex issues requires agreeing that the truth comes first, and a willingness to find common ground. In this meaningful “wisdom drop” with host Rishi Desai, Rosenberg touches on the importance of humility and “consequential compassion” in medicine, and the profound impact mentors can have on your life and career. Seriously, go find a mentor. If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels. You can also subscribe to the series and check out all of our episodes at www.osmosis.org/podcast
