Dr. Michael Spence, president and provost of 麻豆传媒视频网站, was interviewed by Dr. Puja Mehta, Rheumatologist and Clinical Research Training fellow at 麻豆传媒视频网站 Respiratory and Clinical Chair of the ECR network. The subject was 麻豆传媒视频网站's "Disagreeing Well" campaign in a hybrid event that was live-streamed across 麻豆传媒视频网站. It was a very thought-provoking and stimulating in-depth conversation regarding the value, opportunities and challenges of disagreement, relevant to all faculties and career stages and critical to all aspects of our professional and personal lives.

Puja commented "I really enjoyed talking to Dr. Spence about the art of disagreement. We covered a huge range of topics including cross-cultural competence, meaningful diversity, metrics of success, emotional intelligence and power dynamics in academia. He was so open, thoughtful, and authentic - I feel very inspired!"
