Episode 4: Math in Human Health feat. Dr. Nevicia Case
For this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Nevicia Case who has exemplified a lifelong passion for learning. With a PhD in Psychiatry, a Masters of Science in Medical Sciences, and a member of the One Young World Global Community for Young Leaders (to name just a few accomplishments!), she is using every tool available to her to pursue her curiosity and improve human health.
The moment you move to areas like psychology or sociology or even public health suddenly you’re dealing with human systems that are far more complex and very difficult to control . . . we have Statistics to help us better account for those variables that we’re not able to control.
Dr. Nevicia Case, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta, Faculty of Law
