  • Dr. Irwin Redlener, president emeritus and co-founder of the Children's Health Fund, professor of pediatrics and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University and the author of The Future of Us: What the Dreams of Children Mean for Twenty-First-Century America (Columbia University Press, 2017) talks about how prepared we are to handle the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • For everyone just starting to work from home, what hacks have you found that make it productive.  New-to-it or long-timer, what’s better?  What challenges do you need advice for?
