Dr. Paul Farmer is speaking at the UW!
For those of you who cannot attend, we will be streaming the event live so you can log on at that time to watch:
Renowned Global Health Figure Dr. Paul Farmer at UW Campus June 18
Dr. Paul Farmer, subject of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Mountains Beyond Mountains and co-founder of Partners In Health, will speak about the current climate of global health on Thursday, June 18 from 6–7:30 p.m. in Kane Hall Room 130. The free event, "A Conversation with Dr. Paul Farmer Moderated by Dr. Chris Elias," is on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at 5:15 p.m.
Farmer will reflect on a variety of topics, including the future of global health delivery and sustainability, the challenge of multi drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and how one person has the ability to make a significant contribution to global health. Farmer regularly travels
between two worlds: one marked by academic prestige and medical innovation, and the other by destitution and health inequity. Farmer is the newly named chair of Harvard Medical School's Department of Global Health and Social Medicine as well as an attending physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. His unconventional approach to care in the developing world cuts through red tape, bends rules, and has won
him acclaim and controversy.
Elias, the CEO of PATH, has fostered an entrepreneurial culture that encourages innovative thinking at PATH, a Seattle-based non-governmental organization, which is dedicated to improving the health of people around the world by advancing technologies, strengthening systems, and encouraging healthy behaviors.
The event is being presented by the Washington Global Health Alliance in partnership with the University of Washington Department of Global Health, City Club, and the Pacific Health Summit.
The Washington Global Health Alliance is a coalition for Washington State’s global health organizations, connecting, organizing, and motivating groups with the common goal of improving health conditions for people throughout the world. The Washington Global Health Alliance Discovery Series is sponsored by the Lilly Foundation.

Branding
So our name is Panacea. The Cure All.
I read an article today on building a brand for your company. It asks "How important is a concept's name? What does it contribute to the brands identity?" it then states, "A name is a promise to the customer."
I started thinking how could we make Panacea true to its name.
So here are my thoughts:
Panacea is an empowering agency.
You, the people are the answer. I strongly believe that each person has tremendous power - due to the very nature of who they are! So our goal would be to help people see that. Help them find their own answers to the difficulties in their lives. Like when you ask for help or advise from someone and as you speak with them you end up coming up with the answer on your own. (it happens to me all the time!)
Each and every one of us is completely capable of improving our own situations. (even if it's just in our attitude!)
Saying that I do not want to down play the inequalities that exist in the world - because they are ever present. Still we each have that personal potential and internal strength to rise above the world.

The Story of Stuff
I thought this was exactly why I went into Industrial Design! (Even though I am still contributing to the problem...my goal is to break out of that!)
