GIBBS NASIR: One of the great things about playing

in the morning, when the sun is just coming up,

is that I'm usually the only one in the court,

and I'm shooting around.

I'm not thinking about the basketball,

I'm really thinking about trying to get my head clear.

I have lived in a lot of different places within the US,

and I think Baltimore is a really wonderful, vibrant city.

There's a lot of variety in cafes and restaurants in Fells

Point.

It also has a lot of history, and I love the waterfront,

as well.

I think the shuttle really is an amazing resource.

It takes me about 25 or so minutes

to get to school from Charles Village.

It's so convenient because every 15 minutes there's

a bus that you can catch.

The Bloomberg School is one of the oldest

schools in the country.

And I think what's amazing about studying

here is that you're really standing

on the shoulders of giants who've

made countless contributions impacting massive public health

problems, such as the smallpox eradication, polio, tobacco

control.

The Bloomberg School is well recognized

and the Malaria community is very well known.

We have an insectory-- it's the largest insectory

anywhere in the country.

My work specifically looks at the details

of how the malaria parasite interacts

with different proteins.

I feel this sense of purpose to finish my projects,

because I actually think that the work that I'm doing

might actually hopefully lead to something one day.

The sense of purpose permeates through the community.

I think that just because the way the Bloomberg

School of Public Health has all these departments housed

together has been invaluable for me,

because now I know people from all these different departments

who have been very influential in the way

I think about research.

I think kind of interesting to think about how

diverse these topics are.

One of the reasons why I picked Bloomberg

was because of my early interactions

with my current adviser.

She makes time for her students, and she's a great mentor.

And you can talk to her not just about the academics,

the science, but also about potential career opportunities,

and networking opportunities.

I think what I really love about Bloomberg

have been my interactions with the other students.

I feel indebted to Hopkins for giving me the opportunity

to be among such a diverse group of people

who have been very influential, actually, on my development.

My name is Gibbs, and I'm in the ScM program

in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology.

John Mielke - School of Public Health and Health Systems, University of Waterloo - Duration: 1:55.

The relationship between a mother's nutrition during pregnancy and the

health of her baby is well established. But the impact of her social experience

is less well understood. My name is John Mielke and I'm a researcher in the

School of Public Health and Health Systems. I'm interested in how a person's social

experiences become biologically embedded. In particular experiences during the

very earliest parts of life. I think in part what's going to come out of our

work is in a deeper understanding and appreciation for maternal newborn and

child health - a recognition that if we want to truly target to reduce adult

levels of disease we need to think decades before they actually appear.

I think supervising graduate students is important because certainly in

biomedical research the vast majority of what's done is as a result of the input

effort and time of graduate students. Graduate studies in neurobiology is

important because really the brain is the most fascinating organ system in the

body - and of course I'm biased - but when you think about it the brain is truly

the only organ that we have that is more than the sum of its parts.

It really is everything that composes you. Teaching is the reason I came to the

University of Waterloo. Before this I was a government scientist for five years

and while that was interesting I really felt as though something was missing and

what that missin part was is the opportunity to work with students.

I've decided to make the University of Waterloo my academic home because I feel

that they have a very strong student base they have wonderful support for

research and I feel that the School of Public Health and Health Systems in

particular is a very unique place because it has great support for a

multidisciplinary view of health.

Stéphane Bonifassi: dialogue between the public and private sectors - Duration: 2:16.

Stéphane Bonifassi is a lawyer at the Paris bar and his firm, Bonifassi Avocats, specializes

in complex financial crimes, with a focus on fraud, corruption and asset recovery.

He moderated a panel on establishing dialogue between the public and private sectors.

This panel was extremely interesting

because we saw extremely different approaches to the issue.

To me, the Italian situation is very striking

because they have asked the CONFINDUSTRIA,

which is the association of companies, Italian companies,

to come up with guidelines that are considered as the standard

and enforcement authorities are considering them as something that is relevant.

We have very diverging attitudes towards this issue of guidelines.

Another example, which is the French example, is the creation of an administrative entity

which will be in charge of giving guidelines and making sure that they are implemented

within companies and go within those companies to check that they are doing a proper job.

So we are seeing very diverging attitudes towards the issuing of guidelines.

At the end of the day, I think that the French model

is going to be interesting to watch developing.

Will they embrace what the private sector has to say?

Will that agency be in an attitude which will be for prevention rather than for repression?

We are going to see how that develops here.

Public Health: Online Master's Degree - Duration: 2:39.

Well, one really cool thing about public health is that it's multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary.

Public health students are so varied and are coming from so

many different backgrounds that it was expanding how I was thinking about

public health, not just at a local level, but at a state a national and a global level,

and the interconnectedness of all of these health topics.

The most pronounced characteristic of interactions between the faculty and

staff and the students, to me, was the fact that that you were constantly

challenged and, the same time, encouraged to contribute.

And in the process of reviewing the syllabus,

I asked them to identify,

"what do they expect of me as a professor and an instructor?"

and "what do they expect as a student who is coming to learn in an online environment?"

and "what did they expect of other students who are also learning with them online?"

I had no idea, prior to taking my courses online, that online courses would be so interactive.

Pretty much every class I've taken, we do have online group projects, which you know,

sometimes can be a bit of a challenge, but, at the same time, I think it's beneficial.

That cross-pollination of ideas, of experiences, really gives the

learning experience an enrichment that, I mean, that I enjoy and I'm sure the students enjoy too.

You learn a lot about other cultures, communication, how to deal with different people,

from different walks of life, from different perspectives, from different religions.

The coursework I took during the MPH program

made it so that I was knowledgeable and could speak with

people from a lot of different backgrounds in the public health field.

Now, I work with scientists. I work with health educators, with communication staff.

I work with researchers, with policy folks,

and it takes all of those jobs to make change.

I work in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

as a health communications specialist.

I work at Clay County Public Health Center as an epidemiology specialist.

I'm currently working as an environmental health specialist for the

Boone County Department of Public Health.

So when they started to to see that they

are now agents of change and, then they are now going to be able to do what,

I mean, what they have always desired to do,

that's when I get the most, the most excited.
