To John Butler,

Thanks for your very interesting response.  My remark was indended
only as a caution about what's attributed to EO Wilson.  Consilience had
a wonderful description about the "jumping together" of multi-
disciplinary research.  But I have heard "consilience" used twice
recently at population health conferences, where the implication
seemed to be that the social determinants of health work followed
up on EO Wilson's book, whereas it seems to me that his book takes
multidisciplinary scientific work in quite a different direction.

Nonetheless, I am truly delighted to be on this listserve and to have
colleagues in Canada who are engaged in health research, policy
making, community programming -- and the "knowledge exchange"
and partnering among these groups -- many of whom are willing to deal
with this messy business of trying to understand each other and work
together for some shared goals ie improving health & reducing health
inequalities.  And that crosses disciplines and professions, as well as
the theory-to-practice spectrum.

At the risk of sounding almost flatulently optimistic, I am delighted that
the Krimgolds, Sehdevs, Raphaels and Plasketts are part of this listserve. I
am just one little guy in one little town, but my own thinking - and I
daresay my own actions - have already been changed by both the deal-makers
and the theologians on this listserve. And when the listserve ceases to be a
rich dialogue between the messy pragmatists and the neat idealists, it will
be time for me to leave (or to write another too-long missive).
