Description:

Hollywood has shaped our opinions of how seemingly rational human beings respond irrationally in disaster situations. However, empirical evidence suggests that humans are hardwired to be humanistic under duress. This lecture will use real life examples to demonstrate this point, particularly the human response to the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

Presenter: Dr Ben deBoisblanc is a Pulmonary/ Critical Care physician and is the Fred Allison Professor of Medicine and Physiology at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. He has been a critical care clinical trialist for over 35 years. He was the Director of Critical Care at Charity Hospital during Hurricane Katrina and has spoken extensively about humanism during disasters. His current research is focused on the use of AI in medical imaging.
