Hello Dr. Farmer. In the book Mountains Beyond Mountains, Tracy Kidder recounted a time when you were replying to an email from a student. The student said they respected your work but couldn't do what you did. You verbally responded "I didn't say you should do what I do. I just said these things should be done."
Would you be able to elaborate on this point? I want to be a global public health professional one day but I want to better understand how to contribute in my own way. If I (or that student, or another person) shouldn't necessarily do what you did, who should do it?
