Dr. Luz Claudio is a physician and professor of environmental and public health at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. Besides her research, she runs a program to train and include young minority scientists from around the world

In this episode we talk about the magnitude of the changes in the world in our lifetime, Instincts versus reasoning and how to define our universe of influence to make the world a better place

I really enjoyed talking to Luz and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too.

Key take aways

My parents lived in a shaft with tin roofs, no electricity or running water. My younger brother didn't experience all the limitations that I had. But we cannot reach an agreement at COP
We live in an interconecte world, but have a strong tribalist, egocentric mentality. Instincts to fight other people. Technology brought us together, but our brain doesn’t accept it
Seriously that we still have to discuss ‘black lives matter?”
Individually we are more alike and we are more accepting, then as a crowd. We don’t take individual responsibility for what our groups do.
Its not about more education is about finding the right instinct to appeal to. The nudge and the sludge
We have to use the best talents that we have to influence the universe around us. I have a reach to help train researchers in latin America. I can see, feel and measure the accomplishments
