Additional Speaker on Thursday - Ross Dakin, Presidential Innovation Fellow

I am excited to announce that Ross Dakin will join our class on Thursday.  As you can see from his bio, Ross is a highly accomplished technologist who has recently joined the prestigious Presidential Innovation Fellowship program.

Ross is also a former Southbay OEC student, EMT, who went on to patrol at Northstar as well as support a number of public health organizations.

Ross will give us some remarks on topics including the new Precision Medicine Initiative, Federal Ebola response, and other topics of interest he sees from his new perch.

And given his background, we may even be able to get some backboard tips.

Together with Dr. Jeff Croke, we should have a unique and very interesting Thursday evening.
