Episode 121 - Geoff Doughtery PhD on Complexity in Emergency Systems
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.
