The next episode of Informatics in the Round is even better timed than we imagined. We feature a conversation between Scott Scovill--a music industry artist, entrepreneur, and great man, and Laurie Lovett Novak--a PhD anthropologist whose work has helped unpack the roles informatics can play in the lives and homes of patients affected by disasters. We learn about about what Scott went through with his companies, what Brad Paisley went through after the Nashville flood, and a lot more.
We had no idea of what was to come. We recorded this just a week before the devastating tornado hit Nashville's east side and took the lives of more than 24 people. Then COVID-19 came and shut down the venues where up-and-coming songwriters and artists make music. This is a story that is still unfolding, but with Scott's voice and Laurie's research, we offer up a number of ways informatics can help people deal with health and disease in the setting of major disasters. I hope you take a listen to this, when it comes out in a few days. In the meantime, please spread the word about this podcast, which is found on all the usual podcast apps and sites.
With special thanks to our guests, Sarah Bland, who keeps it real and upbeat, and Coda Davison, my co-conspirator in this endeavor!
