We talk about:

• Spending your career answering the questions that keep you up at 2 in the morning
• Finding what motivates you
• Moving the needle by putting research results into action within the community

And, it’s clear to see that Dr. Hasson is an educator at heart. While we talk mostly about her career, she delivers a powerful explanation into the causes and consequences of childhood health disparities and it is clear to see how her passion motivates her into making change.
