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.

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!
