Outline

I was privelaged to be part of a remarkable cross-disciplinary event in San Francisco that created real solutions for patients with pulmonary disease. Few of us had heard of the disease before the event, and it was the range of thinking and expertise in so many non-medical ares that made results truly innovative. We participants became so engaged that many of us are leading our own projects globally because we were so inspired. Mark, who ran the event, will also try to be in Goa to answer questions.
