In PM 565 (Emerging Trensds in Global Health), we were assigned to watch this truly amazing video by Professor Hans Rosling that really puts the need to think about health in global terms into perspective. We cant 'afford to make generalizations anymore. There is so much data out there that challenges our traditional thinking about what's going on in the world. This video really made it clear to me that I found my calling. Read the book "The World is Flat" and watch the Rosling video and let me know what you think.

Hello Rosie,
Great job on your blog. Thanks for the reminder about the World is Flat, I have been meaning to read that book. I'll share my thoughts when I finish it. I would like to hear more about the project you are working on in Ghana.
