20 years ago children of the world weren't getting the vaccines they needed. The children at most risk in poor countries were the ones who were getting the least vaccines and so we needed to find the resources to get countries to adopt the vaccines so that every child would be protected against diarrhea, pneumonia and other killing diseases. GAVI is the the first global initiative of bringing all the different players to work together to get immunization for the children of the world. At the dramatic increase that happened over the years that followed illustrates how important the initiative was and still is and we still need the sufficient funding for GAVI for the future of today and tomorrow. GAVI was one of the first major platform initiatives of the World Economic Forum and in many ways it serves us as a role model for how the public and private sector should cooperate. GAVI does this better than anybody is bringing all of those groups around a common table and having a shared vision to move forward. I think that's the secret sauce of GAVI. I think GAVI has done exceptionally well since inception in 2000. It has immunized over 760 million children and saved 13 million lives. This is for me a very special moment. The World Economic Forum is celebrating 50 years of existence and GAVI which the panel will discuss is celebrating its 20th birthday. I look at GAVI like a child and in some way we were actually the midwife if I may say so for GAVI and I remember how 20 years ago we were sitting together Bill Gates, the director general of the World Health Organization and we just reflected on the fact that despite the promising progress which has been made in immunization efforts at such times there were still I think 30 million people, 30 million children which were living in poor countries and who were not fully immunized. So with the gracious gift of a pledge of Bill Gates of 750 million GAVI was created and GAVI in some way is probably the best example of public private partnership. What has been achieved in the last 20 years I think exceeds all the dreams which we may have had at such time and what I particularly appreciate in GAVI is not only like the World Economic Forum that it is a public private partnership but the way you are providing the assistance is not characterized by just doing good but by being efficient and really applying the best of managerial approach to make sure that as many children as possible can be integrated into the Waxhine efforts. So I'm not mentioning all what we have achieved I think this panel will do but please join me in congratulating GAVI for its 20th anniversary. Thank you Professor Schwab. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to this session on GAVI as it turns 20. As we just heard and you saw in the video the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization is a public private partnership and it has was created 20 years ago and has done a tremendous job of having vaccinated 760 million people and saved 13 million lives. It has done this through welcome. It has done this through being very single-mindedly focused on its mission to save children's lives and to protect everyone's health by increasing immunization especially in poor countries. So what has been the key to success for GAVI and what is the future vision as GAVI enters its next phase. These are the questions we'll try to answer on this panel and I'm very pleased to introduce the panel to discuss this very important questions. To my left is His Excellency Felix Chishakadi the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We have Seth Berkley Chief Executive Officer of GAVI. We have Christopher Elias President and the Global Development Program at the Gates Foundation Paul Hudson from Chief Executive Officer of Sonofi and then Ngozi Okwaja Ivalu from GAVI. So maybe I will start asking a question with the President here. You have recently faced some challenges and dealt with some emergencies in your own country as it relates to outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases like measles and Ebola. How have you handled those and what role has vaccines been able to play there for you? I have worked with a lot of our fellow citizens and it has been very special to stay much longer than the previous epidemics. Here it has lasted more than a year and it has done a lot more than victims. There were 3,400 cases on which there have been 2,200 and a few victims. This has been very difficult in the first place because of the evolution of the disease. But thanks to the vaccination and the fastest charge taken by a Congolese expert at the international appointment, Dr. Jean-Jacques Mouillémbé, I immediately placed a few months on the head of the country. We organized an emergency cell in my country and from 21 cases that were active at that time, today we only have between 0 and 3 cases per day. So I think I can say that the illness, little by little, is disappearing. Thanks to vaccination and thanks to rapid treatment for the ill people. Maybe I can start with you first. As we saw, the Gates Foundation has been a founder of GAVI and 20 years ago this was launched. You have been involved in it yourself directly. What is the model that has made GAVI as successful as it is? Thank you, Serita. Let me join others in wishing Professor Schwab congratulations on the 50th anniversary of the World Economic Forum as well as celebrating GAVI's 20th anniversary. The other organization that turns 20 this year is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The story within the Gates Foundation about GAVI is that it was one of our first, one of our largest and one of our best investments. And it reflects, you know, it's hard almost to imagine where we were 20 years ago with under five child mortality almost double what it was today. And as Professor Schwab said, the GAVI model has been one of the best examples of an alliance of committed individuals, institutions, partners coming together for common purpose to reduce under five child mortality largely through the prevention of vaccine preventable diseases. And while Bill and Melinda made a phenomenal generous gift in 20 years ago, it was really just to spark the alliance and to bring in many other partners, governments, UN agencies, WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank were there at the launch 20 years ago to say we all need to come together to solve one of the world's biggest problems. And we've seen that happen. We've seen the GAVI model expand the number of vaccines available to children almost three-fold in the last 20 years. We've seen it work with the industry to bring down the per-vaccine prices dramatically in some cases. And in some ways, not by changing the profit motive of the industry, but providing clear signals about the demand, about the supply, what was needed from the industry so that they could shape their efforts in the development of vaccines and the production of vaccines to meet a market, a market that GAVI aggregates for the poorest countries of the world. And through that helps to make vaccines more affordable and available to children around the world. So we've seen tremendous expansion in the number of children reached with vaccine, 13 million lives saved as a consequence in the last 20 years, the last generation. We've also seen important models in terms of financial sustainability. The fact that GAVI requires even the poorest countries of the world to co-finance according to their means and to ultimately graduate as they achieve the economic growth that preventing vaccine-preventable diseases helps to fuel. You see a model of sustainability with significant proportions of the actual immunization costs now being born by countries themselves. And I think in the spirit of the theme of today's conference, one of the great things that GAVI has accomplished is to reduce the inequity. 20 years ago, vaccines would come out of a robust pipeline of science and technology and quickly be taken up by the world's richest countries. And the lag between those innovations being available to children in rich countries and children in poor countries was about 15 to 18 years and growing. And in a society where we see growing inequities in many dimensions, GAVI has fought that tide and has reduced the inequities. The rotavirus vaccine was launched in poor countries the same year it was launched in rich countries. So I think it's an incredible model. It's got some incredible challenges left for the next 20 years, but I think we have a lot to celebrate today. Well, thank you for that. Seth, moving to you, of course, you have been driving the engine behind the success. But as you look forward to the future, what else needs to happen and what is the vision for GAVI? So thank you and let me add my thanks to the forum. I've been coming for a long time and it's amazing how we bring together decision makers and have them focus on these important problems. But it isn't only vaccine people. It's obviously people working across all of the different areas that can help drive forward with this agenda. As Chris has just said, the model is really interesting and has been successful. We've launched 433 new vaccines. We've been able to lift up coverage over 20 percentage points for the basic vaccines. But where are we today? Well, vaccines are the most widely distributed health intervention. Today, 90% of children worldwide get at least one dose of vaccine as part of a routine vaccine system.  Two-thirds of those zero-dose children are below the poverty line. If they're not getting vaccines, they're not getting any health intervention. So if they get sick, they're less likely to recover. If they have an epidemic that starts in those communities, there's not the system to pick it up. So what we'd like to do is not just pivot, but continue the work to really work with countries to try to focus in on those that are left behind. And once we bring a vaccine to them, of course, the secret is vaccines don't deliver themselves. So what we're bringing is a health worker, a supply chain, a data system, a cold chain. And with that, we really create the kind of setup for universal health coverage and primary health care. Of course, without prevention, we can't afford those types of health issues. Last thing I'd say on that is that not every country will be able to completely reform their health systems by 2030, the year the SDGs are done. But we could immunize every child, and that would make a dramatic difference. So this is one of our main goals. Of course, we still want to continue to work on epidemics. We still want to make sure that new vaccines that come out will be there. But that's the primary pivot that we're going to try to do. Great. And it's interesting because you talked about creating markets, financing, vaccines, innovation. So Paul, I guess you're representing the innovation part in the upfront, actually having vaccines. And what would you say from your standpoint and the overall industry standpoint, do you feel ready to be able to support that? I think that the success of GAVI is actually quite impressive because I believe GAVI went from having vaccines for six diseases to 18 diseases. So what else is industry able to do for the future vision? Well, thank you. And let me add my congratulations to GAVI at 20. Let me also add, actually, congratulations for the Alaska Bloomberg Public Service Award. I know how prestigious that is, and it says a lot about the work that's being done. You mentioned it in your opening, actually, that I think over 760 million patients have vaccinated or immunized, and 13 million child deaths avoided, and the tragedy that would unfold with those. You know, I've been in the industry close to 30 years. I've only recently taken over as the CEO of Sanofi, and I feel like vaccines is a very special place. We have an incredible team at Sanofi, David Lowe, who leads our team. The work they do is exceptional. Now, I've been in the industry a long time. You ask a little bit about preparedness and readiness, and if we get time for a second question, we'll talk ecosystem. At the front, as I've taught our manufacturing sites and MED-O people, I'm staggered by the call to action, the purpose-driven nature of the workers in this area. This is really, for me at least, having been around a long time. This is something above and beyond, whilst there's a huge amount of pride in what we do in the industry around medicines. There seems to be an extra calling, and it can be everything from polio right through to influenza. There's a speed, there's a discipline, and there's an excellence because people know what's at stake. And I think it's quite incredible, the work. It's the first time that I've worked with an organization such as GAVI, and it's bold. It must have been bold at the time, what it can bring together because it is one of those challenges that can't physically be solved by an individual contributor. It needs the collaboration and it needs the call to action. For us, we've put forward tremendous opportunities for patients with yellow fever, with cholera, with our pentavalent wholesale. We've really tried to bring something to that party and work with UNICEF, GAVI. It shows me actually and inspires me for other areas across the diseases. What is actually possible if you do it right now? I feel a bit of a fraud because I'm new and I'm enjoying the incredible work that's been done. There is tons to do for sure. We are the world's biggest producer of injectable polio vaccine. We have made over 16 billion doses in the last 30 years of oral polio. The job just simply isn't done yet. It just simply isn't done yet. In some ways we have to say there is still work to do in polio itself. There is something important about the ecosystem. If we get time, I'd like to talk about how maybe we can bring that together. We can back to that. Ingo Z, you're of course the chairwoman of GAVI and there's a lot there that you are playing a role. You bring a very interesting perspective from a development standpoint and also having been finance minister because as we heard the financing aspects were very well. From your standpoint, what do you see that countries need to do in terms of making themselves actually prepared for being self-sustainable at some point of the process? Well, thank you very much Rita. Let me also join others in saying that this is a happy moment in which both the forum and GAVI are celebrating. I think we really need to think about it because this is a success story and in a world where there's so much uncertainty and people are so dismal about many things. Here's one story of something working at scale that we can talk about and your question about how to institutionalize is really important. One of the reasons I was excited to join GAVI as chair of the board is because it's an organization that wants to work itself out of a job. So GAVI gets from the start as Walter, Chris and Seth said tries to make sure countries are involved in managing and financing their own program. For instance, in this next period we are going in 2021 to 2025 countries are going to pay 41% of the total cost of vaccines, 3.6 billion dollars and we try to work with them in a progressive fashion so they increasingly take charge until they graduate. So that's one of the things. The way we work with them makes it possible. So it's not like a sudden thing that you wake up over night and say okay now you're in charge of your own program. So that's one progressive taking over of the financing and of course supporting them to mobilize more domestic resources so that they can pay for the vaccines. The other aspect of the finance is the countries being helped to negotiate with pharmaceuticals. We have a mechanism so that the vaccines can be affordable. So that's on the finance side, one of the factors. The second factor is capacity. Even if you have the finance, if you don't have the capacity on the ground to deliver, you need to have a whole value chain with the coal chain, with the workers. So working with community-based organizations to deliver, working with the government itself to deliver civil society, this is one of the aspects that is critically important as countries take over that capacity on the ground. And the third aspect I think is data. For a government to know that it is succeeding in reaching the right levels of immunization for its children, whether if you're 81% as we have on average now, we'd like to move to 95% so that the child we haven't reached is covered, you have to have data and you have to monitor. So building that capacity to get good data is also very important. Great, thank you. Your Excellency, if I may come back to you. So you've heard the panel talk about what Gavi has done and how they have done it and also what countries can do. So as you think about what you want to achieve in your country, what would be your ask of Gavi and others on this panel and how can they help you? Where are the areas of need? Where are the gaps and what might you recommend as areas that we could develop in? Thank you. I think that the shortcomings are to be found in the level of vaccination, particularly compared with routine vaccination or response vaccination when there is an epidemic which has been triggered. Mrs. Conjua spoke about something which I think is very relevant here and I think that this is something that we really have to face up to and that is the price of vaccines. I think the price is relatively high and in my view, on the strength of international cooperation, thanks also to interventions such as the one provided by Gavi, I think what we need to do is to have prices brought down so that countries are in a position to be able to procure the vaccines necessary. I think it is through international cooperation and cooperation between different states that this will be achievable. Just to take the country that I represent, I was asked to be the champion in Central Africa of vaccination and I accepted to spearhead this project and we're going to have a follow-up meeting in February. In fact, it's on the 18th of February. I will be there and I'm really going to get firmly involved. For that, I've invited provincial governments and governments from the area to mobilize and I think that we need to go from a vaccination rate which in Congo is about 35 percent and I'd like her to double that figure and I'd like her to see the figure rise to 70 percent. We need to develop what we're trying out in Congo. That is to say we want to implement an opening of a universal health system. That is a crucial step. Why? Because it will mean that we will be able to reach out and to administer primary healthcare services and provide those services particularly to children and I hope that this will give us a much better response rate and we will be able to have vaccinations or vaccines rather which will be administered to all those who come along with various illnesses. Thank you for that and maybe some of the panelists as we speak now can address some of the points that the President has raised as well but maybe if I could ask you Chris what do you think in today's world of the fourth industrial revolution how can technology actually help us to get to the next levels of challenges that we have in both you and Seth mentioned some of them. Thank you Serita. I think that you know Gavi's journey like any race to do anything important the last mile's harder than the first mile and you know we've as Seth said we've reached at least 90 percent of children with some vaccines. We've reached about 80 percent of children with a full course we still have dropouts kids who get their first dose and don't get doses two and three and I think we need to take what has made Gavi a success in the last 20 years that is innovation and continue to apply it because those last 10 to 20 percent of children are not like the first 80 to 90 percent they may be in a slum they may be in a highly mobile family fleeing conflict conflict they may be in a very remote area they may be in places where seasonal interruptions of the road network prevent the vaccines from getting this is where technologies from the fourth industrial revolution came out when Gavi started 20 years ago we naturally work with the vaccine industry but if you look at Gavi's partnership list today it includes I met yesterday with the chairman of the NEC company in Japan and we have a fingerprint ID technology that is being used in a partnership with Gavi to help track children so that we can find children who may be moving from one place to another from their first dose to their final dose of a vaccine we work with a range of supply chain and logistics companies UPS others who are helping to bring their cutting edge expertise and tracking technologies to understand the best route to get around the flood that took out the bridge how do we get the vaccines to the places there are drone companies now involved in helping leapfrog geographic barriers to get vaccines into critical places a whole range of refrigeration and cold chain companies that are developing solar powered off grid long hold time refrigeration for the vaccines which are perishable they often need to be kept between 3 and 7 degrees centigrade from the factory to the child and if those last children are in very difficult to reach places we're going to need all of that technological so it's not just increasingly working with the vaccine industry to capture the cutting edge of science and technology for heat sensitivity etc but also working with a vast array of corporations who can bring their expertise to solving this last mile challenge reaching those zero dose children and making sure that every child that is reached gets the full dose and the full benefit of a Gavi model Thank you Seth I would like you to maybe address the point that the president raised especially related to pricing and in addition I would like to ask about this conversation around universal health coverage and how you think about that and the linkage of that and what you're trying to do in Gavi First of all I'd like to compliment the president because Chris and I visited him last year and he brought all of the provincial governors and said you're responsible in a decentralized systems you have to make sure that we move forward and the fact that he's just said publicly again I'm going to hold them accountable because he's really important of course he needs technology he has a very difficult geographic area and the issue he talks about in pricing is important if you look at the 11 vaccines that WHO recommends they cost around $1300 it's not exactly the same say in the US but similar vaccines right now they're about $27 in Gavi and that's because we buy vaccines for 60% and because we've been able to work with the pharmaceutical sector to help us we have to make sure they're still profitable and so the challenge has been to expand the number of manufacturers we've gone from a small number 5 when we started to now 17 different manufacturers creating healthy competition and so that process needs to continue to go on what I'm excited about is as new diseases appear the vaccine industry is on it and brings us new vaccines and that's one of the important issues we're this year moving into our replenishment we have to raise at least $7.4 billion and that's to bring these new vaccines forward but to do this type of work and that's important but just quickly answer your question our belief is if you build that system out that primary healthcare system which is responsible for 85% of health there's some stuff that you need the tertiary centers for but most of it can be done in the primary healthcare system if we can bring that out to every person in the DRC that is where we'll get the traumatic benefit and in a way as Ngozi said by doing it with vaccines we can actually measure whether that system is really delivering a just in change using the technology Chris talked about to make sure that we're able to do it and that's how we can get towards success Excellent Coming back to you Paul I know you had a few things in mind that you wanted to discuss but specifically maybe you can also talk about where is the industry going from the future standpoint what innovation and investment is the industry looking to make Thank you So I think what is quite clear as an industry we continue to push what we can in terms of breaking ground on new science we're challenged by Gavi, we're challenged by patients and rightly so for us at Sonofi of course we have a few things directly in front of us we have an improved process to help us with yellow fever which we think will bring benefits across the board we have a hexavalent six in one of which one is an injectable polio vaccine which we know how critical that's going to be of course we also have a preventative for respiratory synestheticial virus which again is a worldwide epidemic of sorts and we're proud to be behind those things I think the panel and others are right to say what are you doing next and where does it go there's excellence he also raises the question on pricing which I think is a very valid question you know coming you in like I said to vaccines I'm struck by this very delicate balance and it is a delicate balance in the ecosystem how do we make sure that we are there when you need us with the volumes and the inventory that is ready to go I think not everybody fully expects or understands that it can take up to six years to validate a new manufacturing facility and then start to build inventory and in this case you really six years is not responsive enough if you have an outbreak or a resurgence or a mutation or some form and that's a huge big investment there's a push of course for lower and lower prices and in some cases a push towards a dollar even to see where we get to and it's fine lines between building capacity for the long term and getting the appropriate price not what I think is special about the Gaby relationship is I think that that balance can be reached but it does require long term planning and long term thinking to maintain the ecosystem because if you're not planning ahead and if you're not building ahead you lose that ability to move and help support and that requires long term tendering for example and long term thinking we may see that as a big open question as we get to Topolio coming up so I think we're completely committed I think Seth mentioned the number of manufacturers we know because of the way tendering and price and volumes have gone there's only really one manufacturer for measles and rubella now remaining one and that has some inherent risk in it and that also means that's not a situation competitively or frankly for the patients that we serve that is acceptable over the long term so we have to get that ecosystem right so there are multiple players very long term thinking and a commitment to pull through the R&D from the industry and it's not easy I'm new to it but I'm excited about how we can balance those things together I think the industry is critical obviously and there are new outbreaks coming out so certainly you have your challenge there ahead of you as an industry to be able to provide that innovation that is so needed Inguzi maybe we can just take the learnings from Gavi and from your insights and how might we be able to take this and apply it to the broader development context there's a lot of conversation here at Davos as well as all year round that we are talking about we have the SDG goals, we have the 20-30 milestone are there learnings here that we can take and apply to other sectors and how might we go about it Thank you very much yes I think that the Gavi model was a bit ahead of its time it was something that was set up at that time and now it's become kind of the type of model that the whole world is seeking to go we should be seeking to emulate this multi-stakeholder approach to problems we've recognized that none of the sustainable development goals can be attained without a multi-stakeholder approach working in silos or one sector without partnerships we can do it so Gavi embodies this partnership with the private sector with civil society, with governments both developing and developed countries everybody is in there and I think this is a big lesson for development but what is good about Gavi is that it's shown that it can work just to give you an example of this multi-stakeholder approach His Excellency Mr. President spoke about the fact that they had the Ebola crisis and they were able to deal with it much faster that was because we had been able to stockpile this working with the private sector with the pharmaceuticals and so when that happened there was a stockpile ready to go if we were not doing this partnership approach this multi-stakeholder type of thinking we wouldn't be able to do it I think the second part is scale Gavi has shown that it can scale and one of the big problems we have in development is the lack of scale we have lots of good pilot projects and examples everywhere but how many times can we talk of reaching a billion people that's what Gavi is doing in the next five years we will reach a billion children and we will save you know more than 20 million lives so those two things are very applicable the last point I want to make is on the financing Gavi has a financial instrument called the international finance facility for immunization where we actually with government guarantees go to the market and we raise money on the markets to help finance this is also applicable everybody is looking for innovative approaches to financing and now education we are going to do the international finance facility for education based on this so I think on those three grounds we really got a model ahead of this time that we can use yeah I was also thinking of education when I was thinking if we took a model like this and applied it to education that would be a good foundation for the broader development so we have a few minutes left and maybe since it is the celebration of the 20 years that I would come back to you to talk about you know we've talked about what Gavi has done huge accomplishments and what you hope to do and what would be your ask of the stakeholders that are here in Davos to help you get to that mission and what might be some specific areas that you'd want to sort of leave behind as thoughts that we could all take back so one thing I want to say just before I answer that is you know we're celebrating us and the forum it was here in 2015 that the advanced purchase commitment and other innovative financing mechanism was set up to make sure they'd be in a bowl of vaccine just in case there was an outbreak and so when there was an outbreak and multiple in DRC we were able to bring that vaccine forward so I mean the important thing is people think about Gavi as a vertical initiative we're about vaccines, that's it but of course that's not true we're about health systems and supply chains and you know refrigeration and data systems and identity and so the real question is how does the rest of the world help us get to these goals these are noble goals we have to work with industries it's not about charity how do we open new markets for industry how do we get to the bottom of the pyramid and be able to bring them in and I think to me this is what I'm excited about because the more we can bring in the best technology from different sectors the more we can move forward in Rwanda today all blood is being delivered by drone if a woman goes and is hemorrhaging in a clinic in rainy season how many units of blood they're there for her there's no wastage and they're doing it for the price of a motorcycle delivery we're beginning to experiment with drones in the DRC in Ghana and other countries these are examples of how technology like the cell phone has leapfrogged and what I need is help from all of the corporate partners as well as the political leaders to move us forward in a movement great it is interesting to hear the panel here because this is truly a sample of a very good example of the multi-stakeholder approach and the public-private partnership and it's not just the business from the health sector but it's really businesses across the sector as you said from supply chain industries those who can reach the last mile and there are many industries and sectors who are actually providing all sorts of products in the last mile so there's opportunity there for them to engage I think the data piece that you talk about becomes very very critical to drive actually data that then helps us make the right decisions and know where the interventions need to come in so it's I want to thank the panel because the president has laid out very good explanations of where you have solved some of the situations that you have faced you have others you have some great targets to double the penetration of the vaccination and we have here for you the people who can make that happen I think on the industry side suddenly the industry has been critical and delivered on the vaccination unfortunately we do see new outbreaks coming out even this week we've had some news items so we do see challenges ahead of us and I think together we can really make all this happen so I do want to congratulate Gavi on its 20th anniversary certainly for the World Economic Forum it is a very special moment having launched it on our platform 20 years ago as you said Ngozi it was maybe ahead of its time but it is really showing us the way for what we can do not only in the vaccination arena but also in other development goals so thank you for your time and thank you very much


Who here remembers when Angular was like the thing? Everyone was using Angular. There's a lot of companies jumping to Angular, right? It wasn't too long ago. Ryan Florence was sitting there saying, I don't remember that because I never did that. The last time I cut my hair, Angular was like the thing. So essentially, my hair is outlasted like the hot new front end framework. Because a lot of people are going to react now. And Ember had a conference today and they're doing really well. So what we're going to talk about today is mostly learning. This isn't going to be a technical talk as much as it is about learning and the things I've learned from teaching other people the program. Whenever you get into a talk about learning, the very first thing you need to talk about is the brain.  It's the most complex organ we have, but it's arguably the most complex thing that we know about in this universe. It's capable of doing a lot of crazy things, remembering, filling, calculating, all of these things that allow us to live our day to day and they allow us to do our job as software engineers. Our brain, from an evolutionary standpoint, has evolved and it's probably our greatest advantage compared to other animals and other things on this planet. We are here today for a big part because of our brains. There was this guy named Pauli Bakirita. In the 60s, he was a neuroscientist. He did a lot of cool stuff with neuroscience research back then. What happened was in 1959, his dad Pedro, he had a stroke and at the time, before the stroke his dad was a professor, he was teaching a lot. So as far as academic achievements, he had kind of reached the pinnacle of being a professor. What happened was he had a stroke and that kind of took him off his feet. He was refined to a wheelchair. He couldn't talk. Essentially everything that we take for granted as humans just going to the bathroom and doing normal things, he lost those abilities. So what happened was his son and Paul's brother, George, he was a physician at the time and he was kind of naive to the study of neuroscience back then.  But Paul or George was kind of naive to that. And so what him and his dad started doing was they started doing a lot of minuscule tasks.   Once he started doing that okay, they started crawling and eventually what happened was he got back to the point of being a professor. He kind of was able to retrain his brain to do a bunch of the things that we take for granted and he was able to get to the point where he was teaching and he was going hiking and he was doing a lot of the normal tasks that we can do every single day. What happened, seven years later, he passed away from a heart attack because he was hiking and they did a autopsy and they looked at his brain and what they found was amazing. It was kind of changed the direction of neuroscience back in the day. So what they found was the portion of his brain, which was kind of destroyed from the stroke, which is right along the brainstem, that was still completely dead. But what happened was all the parts around his brain kind of adapted and they all learned the new things that necessarily they shouldn't have before the stroke, but they had to adapt when he had the stroke.  This is huge, especially for engineers because this allows us to be able to study and work and struggle and do all these things that physically change our brain that allow us to learn new things quickly. So learning, as you all know, is a lifeblood of engineers. You're all here because you love learning. This talk isn't necessarily going to be about the importance of learning because if you didn't really bind to that mantra of I need to learn in order to keep my career fresh, you wouldn't be here right now, you'd be doing something else. But because you're all here, I'm assuming that you all understand the importance of learning. So what we're gonna talk about specifically is more the things that I have learned from teaching other people the program. So a little background about me, I've been working in a place called Dead Mountain for about a year now. And what we do is we take people who are really excited and they're passionate about learning to program. And they come to our class and we start off with like HTML and CSS stuff. We go to JavaScript, do some jQuery and kind of just the full web stack. And it's really interesting to watch people as they go through this program because essentially what we're doing is we're taking people and we're putting a lot of knowledge in their heads in a very short amount of time. And whenever you do something that intense, you kind of see the bounds of human limits in a sense where a lot of our students have never experienced something, I don't wanna say it's revolutionary because we're really just being really disciplined and teaching them a lot. But they are having to be there all day. They're having to stay late in the night and they're here five or six days a week and we're teaching them all these things very quickly. And we have a lot of really good instructors who are really good at teaching these things but it's extremely hard to learn all these things this quickly. So it kind of opens up this whole realm that I never thought I would discover of psychology and sociology and about learning which is what this talk is about. So being in the position I'm at at Dead Mountain, a lot of the questions that I get is related to this. What should I learn? There's so many things that we can learn and usually what happens, the nature of Dead Mountain is I get this question specifically, iOS first web. Dead Mountain has a web course that they teach and they have an iOS course that they teach. If you do any research at all, it's really clear that the iOS course or the web course is the one you should take and then people get the question of, okay, should I focus on front end? Should I focus on back end like node's cool but should we do JavaScript and all these different things and then answer front end. Then we get the question of, well, should I learn jQuery or should I learn JavaScript? Then you have to explain to them how that's kind of a silly question because you shouldn't be doing any jQuery if you don't understand JavaScript. And then they get, they learn for a while and they come across this question. They said, hey, we've been doing fundamental JavaScript stuff for a while now. We've done a little bit of jQuery and now I'm opening up myself with this world of front end frameworks that's changing constantly. And eventually what my students will, beginners tend to find out is there's a lot of things to learn and it's extremely stressful as a beginner because you essentially need to trust people who are smarter than you and who have more experience with you to guide you and to tell you what you should learn. But the main point of this talk today is it necessarily doesn't matter what you learn. That kind of sounds kind of weird but the whole beginning of this talk was was on how our brains are this amazing thing and we can change our brains and we can adapt and we can grow. And the reason why it doesn't matter is because of these things.  The tools that you have are essentially just tools to solve the problem, right? And I think a lot of times, especially as engineers we get caught up and I'm a JavaScript developer or I'm an Angular developer. I saw a tweet the other day that was essentially, it would be super weird and kind of awkward if designers label themselves with the tools that they use. I mean I'm a Photoshop designer or I'm a sketch designer. That sounds extremely silly but that's what we do all the time. In our industries we label ourselves based on what our tools are. And that's not the best idea. What you learn is an implementation detail. The more important thing is that you're learning. When you learn and whenever you learn something new your brain is growing and your brain is adapting based on that neuroplasticity principle we talked about earlier. Ideally everyone's goal in this room with their career should be, I want to get to the point where I can learn things extremely quickly. I know a few people in the room already who do that. One of them is Ryan Florence. Sorry to call you out Ryan. So Ryan gives this talk, I've seen, he's given it a few times. I think he spoke about it as a ReactConf where he says, hey, I was preparing my talk for, I believe it was JSConf, sorry, I should have fact-checked before. Where he was going to compare Angular and Burn Backbone and they said, hey, it would be really cool if you threw in like Polymer and React. So he said, okay, cool, whatever. So he started learning React. So we got an hour into React and then he realized React doesn't have a router. So he started working on the very first prototype of React Router and as everyone knows, React Router is great and everyone uses it now in the React world. When I first heard that story, I was extremely impressed. The reason because when I was on my third hour or second hour of learning React, this was the question I had. Like why in the world isn't my JSX transforming? Which is like a very simple question to have. It's a very easy problem to solve but when I first jumped to React, it was just getting my JSX to transform so my web browser can read it was like not necessarily a struggle but slightly confusing. So this quote I love, you should no more expect someone to be born a highly developed critical thinker than you should expect someone to be born a concert violinist. This is, going back to the story of myself and Ryan, that's totally fair. Ryan's been doing this a lot longer than I have and he's kind of established those things in his brain which allow him to learn a lot quicker than I have. That doesn't mean I'm stupid but that does mean that I have a lot more work to do and to go before I can kind of get on Ryan's level or any other really extreme senior engineer. I don't know if that's a thing, extreme senior engineer. That's a lie, I know it. But it's that idea of my goal as kind of a mid-level engineer is to get to the point where I can learn things very quickly and so whenever the new friend and framework comes along whether it's React, I don't know, whatever the next one will be that I can adapt and I can learn those things really quickly. Going back to kind of what I've learned at Dev Mountain, there's a few things that either help students or they hurt students in their learning process and so what we're gonna do is break these out and go a little bit more into these. So fear, talking about how someone is scared to learn something sounds kind of silly but at the end of the day it's usually always true. Humans hate feeling vulnerable and what you do when you learn something new you essentially let go of everything that you know and you put yourself in a situation where you are going to be judged and you are completely vulnerable because you know nothing. How many of us will be walking and so we're walking this way whether we're coming out of grocery store or whatever and then we remember that we have to do something or we have to get something that's directly behind us but there's a bunch of people looking at us and we don't wanna look stupid. So naturally what we do is we look at our phone we pretend that something happened on our phone someone texted us and then we turn around and we go that way, right? It happens to all of us whether we wanna admit it or not. Jameson laughs because he does it every day, I see him.  But if we think about this idea of vulnerability it's an extremely important aspect of kind of our human involvement. Every single night when we go to bed we put ourselves in a situation where we're extremely vulnerable whether that's now or whether that's 100, 200 years ago. We go to bed, we don't really know what's going on around us we can get killed, but it's kind of part of life. This idea of being vulnerable is completely necessary. So what we've tried to do at Dev Mountain is create this environment of learning and this environment of trust. It's extremely important on day one this is what everyone should do in your workplaces too.  It's easier to just say everyone is stupid including the teachers, including the instructors and the mentors and once we establish all of that then it's cool because if someone says something that's a dumb question or whatever it doesn't matter because other people in the room have that question and there's this culture that's been established where if someone judges another person for asking a question or for making themselves look vulnerable then there's gonna be consequences for that. So comparisons, oh no, oh no. Let me check something real quick. Yep, that's too bad. Let me just verify the internet's working here. Okay, if you go to this URL you can see these funny pictures.  Dunning-Kruger Effect is when you look down on someone and you think hey, I know it all there's really nothing more I can learn from anyone in this room and it's extremely bad especially when you're in a learning environment because there's always something you can learn from other people. The opposite of that, as we've all heard, imposter syndrome where you go in and everyone in the room is smarter then you don't feel like you belong there. It happens all the time in engineering because we're always doing code reviews and things like that and it's not really helpful to learning because it kind of limits yourself in a vulnerable state. Sorry, all these are dead. The solution is to check out whenever we see someone who they're either having kind of a Dunning-Kruger moment or an imposter syndrome moment what we do is we take those people aside, explain to them what's happening and kind of just try to help them get on the right path back to learning most effectively. Cool, stress. What happens from kind of an evolutionary standpoint is whenever we encounter stress what we do is flight or fight, meaning if a bear walks into this room right now I'm either going to decide to fight it or I'm going to run to try to stay alive, right? And what happens emotionally in your brain is two things, adrenaline and cortisol. Those two things get released into your brain.  These can be extremely dangerous whenever you're having chronic stress because what you're doing is you're essentially always having adrenaline, always having cortisol in your body which leads to some very bad things. Adrenaline creates scars in your blood vessels which lead to things like hypertension, heart attacks, things like that. And then cortisol messes with your hippocampus which is mainly responsible for taking short term memories and converting them to longer memories. Lack of sleep. So going back to what we talked about earlier we sacrifice a lot to get sleep. Every night from six to nine hours we put ourselves in a very vulnerable state and there's a reason for that is because sleep is absolutely necessary in order for us to function. You hear this a lot, oh this is one, I can describe this one. So what this picture was is Aaron Frost, he works at Delmo. He tweeted that we're doing, they, him, Merrick and a few other guys were doing a hackathon, it was 48 hours and Aaron Frost tweeted that Merrick after Merrick had gone to bed it was like one a.m. or whatever. And he said, hey, something making fun of him how he's weak or whatever. And Merrick tweeted back in the morning saying, something along the lines of, and I'll try to quote him, bro it's called sustainable hacking, where are you this morning? And I loved it because it was a very Merrick thing to say. And Merrick was there in the morning and I assumed he had stamina to go all day. Okay, so let's talk about some things that help learning. Movement, we are living in the most sedentary time in human history. Our brains, regardless of what your view on evolution is or whatever, whether it was thousands of years ago or even tens of years ago, we can all agree that the history before ours we are always moving more than we are today. A lot of times today we're sitting and sometimes we're standing now which is the cool thing to do. But we're staying in one place and we're sitting at a computer all day. And that's not the best for us. Exercise is a competitive advantage. If you're in a field where you're using your brain to do things and to make people or yourself money, which we all are, exercise is a competitive advantage and there's some facts about exercise. The brain can only focus on one thing sequentially. So essentially if you're familiar with like the JavaScript event system, our brains are kind of, it's a stretch but it's kind of the same idea where we can only focus on one thing at a time and a lot of the time what our workplaces do now in these open work environments is they don't really benefit that very much. Meaning we have a lot of distractions. We're always connected to the internet unless you're giving a talk where you need to be connected to the internet and you're not. But usually you're connected to the internet. Hey, look at that. So what this was was you were supposed to be focused on this and not on me but it didn't work at all. So enjoy these completely random gifts. I'm gonna check if these are up real quick. Not yet. Okay, we're cool. I'm not reloading anything. I'm not full. Okay, so let's talk about when we're programming our brain takes these mental steps. Very first thing is let's say we're going from like Twitter to programming. So we're going from Twitter, we're on Twitter. We're enjoying one of Jameson dances like GIFs for the day because he loves GIFs. Then we say, hey, we really need to get back to work. We have to start programming. So what we do is we go through this attention shift. We're in our brains, there's bloods moving around and our brains are saying, okay, I need to go from tweeting to programming which require two totally different aspects of our brain.  It goes and finds it and then we start programming for say 10 to 15 minutes and then what happens is we get a tweet that pops up on our sidebar and then that entire process has to go and your brain has to go from now from programming back to Twitter and then from Twitter to programming. It's extremely difficult to try to stay entirely focused but the process of going back and forth is what can ruin your day and when you've had like a 10 hour day but you didn't get anything done it's probably because one, either your coworkers were distracting you or Twitter or whatnot was distracting you as well. Struggle. Society emphasizes the results and ignores the process, meaning a lot of the times whenever we hear about a basketball player for example, he just got drafted out of college and now he's going to make millions of dollars. We don't really focus on the fact that that basketball player has been getting up at five AM since they were like six and all they've done is play basketball and when they were in high school they tore the ACL and they had to work really hard to get back to the point where they're at today. As a society we ignore all the, for some reason we ignore all the process and we just focus on the end result and so for beginners learning to program that's extremely difficult. Who here has heard this or they've said this themselves? I hear it all the time being the position I'm at. Learning to program is easy. It's extremely hard. It's easy when you learn to program and then you go and you get a job and you're at a job for 10 years and then you talk to someone who's starting out and you remember when you learned a program but what you forgot was all the difficulties and all the hard work that you had to put in to get to the point where you're at today and so what you say is, hey learning to program is easy because I remember it being easy. When it never was easy it was extremely difficult. You just forgotten how hard it was. We always talk about or it's kind of a known fact that physical exertion will lead to physical gains. What we don't talk a lot about is that mental exertion leads to mental gains. A lot of times at Dev Mountain students will talk to me and they say, hey I'm trying really hard but I just don't feel like I'm learning. I just don't feel like I'm getting it. I haven't been all the time. When in fact they are learning they've just kind of forgotten how far they've come until they get to the end and they start working on their personal project or whatever and they've come all this way and now they're a developer or whatever that means and they can build things. So this is one of my favorite quotes about learning and it's the last slide I have. Learners inherit the earth while they'll learn, find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. Questions? That's a really good question. So the question was how have I modified my teaching style based on what I've learned about learning? The biggest thing and everyone does this initially is say we're talking about just regular for loops like for var i equals zero. What always happens is the student will raise their hand. As we're in the middle of discussing like this very fundamental easy crap. This very fundamental aspect of programming, right? And I'll say hey online I was just reading and I read about this thing called reduce and map. How does this relate to what we're talking about? And that's a complete trap. Because what happens is you say okay I know this and I can prove to the whole class that I'm really smart by showing how broad my knowledge is of JavaScript. So you come over here and you say okay well what you can do with map is map the property on the arrays and blah, blah, blah and now you've just lost 90% of the class because you're now in map and reduce land when they're still trying to grasp this regular for loop plan. So I think that's the biggest thing is not letting lectures get to the point where students dictate the lecture and the students dictate what they learn but really sticking to the principles and kind of the learning objectives that students are supposed to learn. And if we wanna venture outside of those do it after the lecture. Good one. Question was what I think about learn once right everywhere. I like the idea of it. I mean for like a four word or five word quote it's obviously limited. But everything that that represents as far as React Native is beautiful. I love it. Approve. That is a very heavy question. I don't think I'm qualified to answer that. Yeah the question was we do this context switching and when you discover a hard problem you kind of naturally have to do that right. You have to go from not knowing the problem to going and figuring out the problem and coming back to it. I think that's fine. The biggest things where it becomes a problem is making context switching from two things that are totally unrelated. But I think related and I have no science to back this up obviously. That's what I do. No science. That's what I assume is if you're switching from something where the context are very similar I would say it's fine.  But that's what I would say. Perfect thanks.


Once the student completes SWIC orientation, we'll move on to SWIC PCT and one of the first evolution we conduct on day two is a water rescue test. If a student is unable to complete the evolution or pass the test, he will go for a review board and will be considered for either removal from training or possibly setback. We're looking for students to be able to rescue a simulated drowning victim. A real world application is someone gets thrown off a boat or knocked unconscious and we need to be able to perform a rescue in the open ocean. The technique starts by executing a stride jump and entering the water. The student will then rescue crawl stroke to the simulated drowning victim. At that time they will assess their victim and do what we call the head escape method. The victim will try and use them as a buoy. They'll slip the clinch, get control of their victim, and put them into a straight arm collar tow. They'll use the straight arm collar tow to plane the victim out. Once they have the victim on plane, they'll transition to what we call the cross chest carry. From then it's a gut check and they have to complete a 25 meter rescue stroke. At any time the student doesn't execute the stride jump, the head escape method or the cross chest carry, and the victim is unable to continue a normal breathing cycle. We consider that a failure and the student will not move on. This is a high attrition evolution. We can attribute most of our attrition to this evolution. It's just because a lot of our students will show up unprepared and not comfortable in the water. One way guys can practice when they're home is they can either consult the total immersion swimming technique. Any lifeguard videos they can watch, techniques, the total immersion swimming techniques, we rely heavily on that as part of our teaching method. If you can find swim coaches, lifeguarding, any of those things in your local area will well benefit.


What's going on everybody got kyle and shawn here with latent sports cards are being two boxes for luke s i got one box leaf art of sports solo and one box bowman chrome uh university basketball hobby start with the bowman chrome do that first Yeah, definitely definitely gonna have to go with the game over that one. Alrighty good luck here. Let's go luke One time for the one time a little brawn good luck good luck sir Okay, all these packs out again like we've been doing go through them Dude runs hard man. I love it. Absolutely. He runs so hard.  Yeah makes me that much harder I'm on chiefs stop there. Roku on not a good call, dude. Roku on stuff. Yeah Roku on stuff. Yeah No one is rooting for the chiefs I say call it on the insert. Well, that's not true because we got robert puissant confidant right here There's a refractor first oma hapalu We do have a chiefs fan There's a first devon royal for ohau state first on the base auto Oh, no Oh, no, not the four down Not traf kelsey Not traf kelsey gold uh gold shimmer to fifties and be tyler coleck for marquette Tyrese proctor. That's only kelsey's getting there and nice one there dusty stromer on the insert auto said 99 Yeah, that's not a good starter Cody williams on the insert and dylan jones. They might have a they might have a nice little night today Sam probably Kelsey and uh my homes. We've seen it before we've seen it before Yeah, Sam might have broke some on that one. Got an orange coming first is darin green. Good luck luke on the orange Caleb love It's going to be an orange shimmer of l ls point guard for arkansas This one there to 25.  I have a fayetteville there l ls to 25 first And green to 99 going to be jebari mcdowell dj wagner and kylin boswell We're already miss a luke second half It's 190 now. We have a blue ray wave desu and x-factor angel reese And another ray wave that one's going to be the 100 um brandy garrison brandy garrison And x-factor dillingham. Yeah, actually did throw a little bit on the chief's money line too just because Plus 200 chiefs in the playoffs. I don't know Why not Why not? So um refractor first of isaac mcneely Kenzie and bako x-factor is going to be jesson edwards. No one tells sam though No one tells sam To 150 we got spencer jones spencer jones 150 for stanford fuchsia mini diamond purple shimmer is darren green And nice one there's cameron break on the sharpshooter lava or ray wave to 150 very nice first uh reach shepherd Oh man They do that.

He wants to take it I'll listen to sap gotta listen to sap even though he's locked out on the on the back patio right now Yeah Still knows what he's talking about there a lot of irish goodbyes. Keep my name out With a lot of irish goodbyes. I got you dfm Kelsey See what we got here our sport solo. Yeah That's crazy. Yeah, it's gonna be a quad relic um renaissance man That's gonna be tim dunkin calm alone chuck barkley and larry um bird almost said larry david larry bird That'll be weird if he was on that card. That's actually fire Tim dunkin calm alone barkley and bird some nice ones. They're all uh game used All game use meant Nice one there luke. Alrighty mr. Luke that will do it that will do it for um your personal there my man Got uh two boxes. We'll keep the or we'll get those right out to you

TikTok, I got you, how to mod people. I know there's like a process to do it. I just, I don't know how to do it, to be honest. Jason, come to the shop at some point, dude. Rated R, Desmond Ritter. No more mod for the doubt. Mitch Trebisky, 249. Aaron Donnell, to 199. And Nicoby Dean. I'll start, I'll just look it up on YouTube and just start unmodding all of you. Yeah, I don't know how I got mods, Dad, so that's a bad idea. Oh, do you just do this? That's probably pretty easy. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I have an idea now. What are you doing? Ah, Ad Moderator, that's easy. There we go. Camille is now a mod, perfect. We've got Brian Robinson, Jr., Rookie Excellence Autograph Signatures. This one there. Run for your life.

Hello and welcome to the All This Persons show. I'm Joe Wombo, joined now with All This Persons head coach of the men's volleyball team. And coach, you guys host Eastern Mennonite in your final CVC match of the season. And boy, was it a big one for you guys to be able to win the third seed in the CVC. That's right. Yeah, the Eastern Mennonite was a really tough team. They beat us in five at their place. And that was our first match of the season, the CVC game. And then it's nice to see that the guys, our guys are playing at their best. They won 3-0 at home and outplayed Eastern Mennonite in all phases of the game. And yeah, we got the three seed. So we'll be playing Juniata Friday. And then depending on how we play, I think we're going to have to play not only good, but great to get past Juniata. And play the winner of the other semi on Saturday. Let's back it up to this past Saturday as well, playing Penn State, Altoona on senior night, an opportunity for the seniors to play five sets. Unfortunately, unable to pull it out. But how important was that match as far as experience and getting these guys ready for this weekend? Right there. Three seniors start that have been playing most of the year. But a couple of them are the first off the bench. And real important to our team, because we're going to face, like I said, Juniata and then Mary Mount, EMU again. And we're going to need their help. In particular, Nick Gross as an outside, and Sandy. David Santangelo came in as an opposite. And then I had Andy playing Libero. Hadn't played in a lot of that to Spell, Derek. And also I took out Alex, our middle, and had actually a freshman, the fill-in on senior night. That was really good for him, Nate Bossi, to play middle. So unfortunately, it didn't end up with a win. But we got a lot of good, intense game time, real match time experience for those guys. And the group that was on the court, they may not have been playing with each other very much. They're out this season, and they get kind of thrown into that situation, but are able to perform. And they may arrive in that type of situation this weekend, where it's just going to be next guy's up, and who's hot, and who's swinging well against Juniata. Yeah, I have no reservations to put in the guys that I mentioned on the floor. Actually, anybody, any of the 15 on the team. This past weekend, KJ, our starting center, came back and started for the first time in weeks because of an injury. And before that, Jared Chinna walk-on, a transfer plate setter. So we have some options. You love that as a coach, and the team, too, feels that they're all contributing. Absolutely. As we get ready for this Juniata game that you mentioned on Friday, you guys have split the series with them this year, each losing on your home court. But this is going to be a neutral site game, if you can call it that. How do you feel going into this game? I feel great. I mean, especially how we performed last weekend and how we have been playing as a team. But Juniata's tough. They pretty much beat our drum here at Stevenson just recently. And we had a kind of an off night, which happens in volleyball and all sports. So the guys, I think, are super confident that they can put a full match together and take them in the semi. That always is the challenge at this stage of the season, being able to put a full match together. And then to win the CVC, you've got to put a full weekend together. How is your confidence going into that as far as, what are you focusing on this week to get ready for that concentration? Yeah, it is a long weekend. I think we're just going to take it one match at a time. I'm not even thinking about Saturday. And we're going to focus on our game, our ability to pass well, and set our middles, and then everything else seems to fall into place. The guys have been playing great, covered defense, and really bought into flying everywhere. I think you saw that in the senior night. They're running into the back wall trying to save balls. And I really appreciate that effort. And I'm going to do my best to be prepared as a coach and our staff to help them on the floor. Well, coach, we appreciate your time this week and every week. And we wish you the best of luck in this CVC tournament against Junietta. And hopefully, you can ring their drum back. OK, thanks a lot. He's All Dispersons. I'm Joe Wamba. And this has been the All Dispersons Show.


He gets it to Henry, Henry trying to get you to stand up with that man and let him just throw you out of the club. Fourth of mile, house of actually injured Washington. Titans electing to go for it, Vitz Young at the shotgun. Rolls out of the pocket, he's got a blocker in front of him. Young needs the first down, cuts it across, he has it. Vitz Young with the top, down the sideline. Touchdown Tennessee. Dyson and Bird are deep. Taken by Neal, he gives it the wide check, wide check. That looked like a forward pass. Taken by Dyson. Dyson down your sideline. Incredible play.
