This is the final lecture for this course on climate and health adaptation, and we're focusing here on maximizing the role of the adaptation practitioner which is you. So we'll be going through some areas where the field is in need of development, and where we can start to think about how we'll incorporate that into our next steps. So I just want to revisit and remind you of all of the disciplines that we have drawn from used, engaged in theoretically maybe in realistically. But we range from talking about climate science, exposure science, vulnerability science. When we start thinking about those pathways, we're getting out very simple epidemiological concepts. So how does a certain exposure relate to an outcome? Here in the context, we are talking about climate change as the exposure and outcomes of course where those that are sensitive to those exposures. We talk about geography because we're thinking about place. There are components of behavioral science when we're thinking about the implementation of our action plan. We have to be able to consider how people will utilize our information when we give it to them in a certain formula. We've seen examples that draw from urban planning. With our example from the storm, from the rain gardens, that is an urban planning technique that could be put into place. That draws from our science and understanding on ecology and this is just an indication of how big your work can get, and really the opportunities that are there to start reaching out to your colleagues that are in fields that maybe you're not directly involved in. I can wager that you can make the case that climate touches health in so many ways that you could find some type of project that you could work on and relate it back to climate and health, and I encourage you to do that. So as we move through these next pieces of content, think about maybe where you can build those networks. So I've said this a few times, and I just want to iterate that right now the fields of climate and health adaptation is very much in its infancy. That's okay, that's good. We know where we are now. But there is a very long road ahead of us, and we have a lot of work that we need to do. So well, right now it might feel like the learning curve is real steep. Eventually, as we put more effort and more information into our work on climate and health adaptation, we'll start moving into these more developed stages of adaptation, and it will help us work smarter, it will help us work more efficiently. So I just want to make the appeal to you as we go through this content where we're focusing on how you can maximize your role as the adaptation practitioner, where you might see those activities, inform how we can develop further and mature ourselves as a field.
