It wasn’t coronavirus that brought the world to its knees; it was our optimized, streamlined, hyper-efficient systems. In this interview with TEDxMileHigh Founder Jeremy Duhon, Colorado’s COVID Innovation Response Team Lead Sarah Tuneberg explains how we can be more resilient at work and at home — not just to COVID-19 but climate change and the many challenges in our future. For over a decade, Sarah Tuneberg worked in public health & emergency management in places like South Sudan and post-Katrina New Orleans. She is the Co-Founder & CEO of Geospiza. In 2020, she was tapped by Governor Polis to lead Colorado’s Coronavirus Innovation Response Team. The team is ramping up mass testing, creating services to help all Coloradans stay safe and healthy at home, developing local alternatives for constrained medical supplies, and developing technologies to help track the spread of the virus and support infected citizens. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
