How do complex systems shape the emergencies we face—and how can understanding them help you perform when it matters most?
In this episode, I talk with epidemiologist and emergency responder Geoff Dougherty about how complexity science shows up everywhere from individual patient care to statewide population health. We dig into what makes a system complex, why small changes can have massive effects, and how feedback loops, phase transitions, and path dependence shape what actually happens under pressure.

EP 104: Marcin Nazaruk PhD on Learning from Normal Work
In this episode of the Emergency Mind Podcast, host Dan Dworkis is joined by Dr. Marcin Nazaruk, an award-winning global expert in proactive learning, to explore how knowledge and principles from various industries, particularly oil and gas, can enhance safety and performance in the medical field. Dr. Nazaruk discusses the concept of 'Learning from Normal Work,' offering practical insights and tools to help professionals adapt and thrive under pressure. They delve into topics such as the psychology of safety, adapting to variability in work, and the critical importance of changing mindsets to uncover deep learning opportunities. This episode is a rich exploration of how systemic thinking can drive better outcomes in high-stakes environments.
