Informatics in the Round

Who, Me? My Road to Informatics


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to Informatics in the Round,  a podcast designed to help everyone become a part of the dialog about topics in biomedical informatics. 

I’m Kevin Johnson, a physician and informatics researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. @kbjohnsonmd on Twitter, www.kevinbjohnsonmd.net on the web! 

In this episode of Informatics in the Round  I’m joined by a half dozen guests.  

  • Sarah Bland, a leader in Vanderbilt’s Center for Precision Medicine is here, along with her son Bradley.
  • Dr. Yaa Kumah Crystal, a clinical informatics expert and role model for African American women, is here with her son Jude.
  • Jane Bach (songwriter and storyteller extraordinaire) is here
  • Shannon Rich (my very smart and very courageous friend) is here.

  • Why all these guests? Because today’s topic is all about me and my new Children’s book called Who, Me? I’m a Biomedical Informatics Expert Now.  It’s part of a series that Professor David Weintraub, Professor Ann Neely, and I are producing. 

    I want to warn you that the guests ask me some very personal questions that I answer honestly. It might not be for everyone’s tastes. But that’s what the fast forward button is for. 

    Anyway, I hope you learn a bit about me, and about my journey from this episode.

    We end with a wonderfully fitting song for this episode, written by Jane Bach and sung by Jo Dee Messina:  Dare to Dream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg2aF1z9myw. Thanks for letting me end with such great music!
