Hi class. Greetings. This is your first time in my office. Now, I wanted to talk to you a little bit before you actually start the formal course. All of my lectures are going to be given from this office. So I'll give you a little bit of a tour later, sometime maybe midway through the course. I wanted to let you know a couple of things about the information that I'm going to be providing you. Keeping up with global health data is a little bit like chasing the dragon's tail. Every time we get information or I give you information say about, how many cases of diabetes there are in the world, by the time I make this recording that number will have changed. So throughout the course, don't get too hung up on exact numbers. I want you to really focus on principles. We're going to give you some sites that you can go, so that you can check to see the latest updates on particular elements of data in which you might be interested. But also before we get started, I wanted just to let you know that I'm not sitting here in an office all by myself. I have a team and I thought you might enjoy meeting them. First, Athy. Come on over Athy. Hi class. My name is Athy [inaudible] , I'm a sophomore undergrad at Duke. I took Dr. Boyd's class last year. I really loved it. A plus. Now, I'm hoping working with filming, and working with editing of these videos. So I really hope you enjoyed this course. Thanks Athy. There's one more special person or creature in this room, who always helps me with everything and that is my beloved Max. So you want to meet Max? Why not. Hey Max, quick come here. Max, up. Good boy, come on you can do it, strong body. Well, you want to meet the camera? Hi, Max. This is Max, my Bronco Italiano. So he's with us a lot too and he is clearly bored by his daddy, and wants to go out and play, but he's always here is my support. So anyway, I hope you enjoy this course. There's a lot of material we're going to be going over, and I think you're going to enjoy it. So until you start your first lesson, this is Dr. Boyd signing out.
