Around one table sat a physicist, an anthropologist, a public health expert, and an epidemiologist—all Johns Hopkins faculty but meeting one another for the first time. By the end of their conversation, on issues of global health, several email addresses and business cards were exchanged.
This type of mixing, of scholars and leaders from all corners of Johns Hopkins University, was exactly the intent of the "Cocktails and New Perspectives" event Thursday night sponsored by the Alliance for a Healthier World.
