This is the final episode of Season 1 of the 5% and Falling podcast. In this episode, we investigate how empathy, knowledge and evidence come together to enable change, to reduce suffering and improve lives. Throughout this season, we brought you stories of public health in action, from the small town of Kabwe in Zambia to the bustling avenues of New York City. And the stories presented here are just the beginning. As you listen to this episode, maybe while you’re driving to work, cooking dinner, or riding the bus, we encourage you to take a moment and think about what causes motivate you. How can you make an impact in your community? Whose champion will YOU be?

Thank you to our guests for this episode, Julie Avina, Julia Cartwright and Melody Goodman. To learn more about the NYU College of Global Public Health, and how our innovative programs are training the next generation of public health leaders, visit publichealth.nyu.edu
