Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Thomas LaVeist, Dean of Tulane University’s School of Public Health, discusses his accidental discovery of public health and decades-long commitment to addressing health disparities. He explores the pressures facing higher education, from funding cuts to global talent pipelines, and shares why science communication and interdisciplinary collaboration are critical for the future. “We need a healthy workforce to drive the economy… these are health equity issues as far as I’m concerned,” he emphasizes. Dr. LaVeist also offers candid thoughts on AI, leadership, and why accountability is the cornerstone of effective governance.
