About Robert Lee Kilpatrick
My entire career has been at the interface between the humanities and science. Trained in science, in the history of medicine, in the business of science and medicine, and how this impacts our understanding of health and disease. My focus has consistently been on how innovation can be harnessed to expand opportunities for positive change. To improve lives at the personal and population levels. Specialties: Building social networks; communications; development of program content for films, meetings, publications; successful productions of various kinds; facilitator; coach; board member.In the end, I believe, that knowledge and power should be put to the service of humanity; to improve the lives of people through thoughtful action, and to create sustainable and equitable economic and social systems.
