Jim Yong Kim nominated to be World Bank President
Not that I’m clear how or why a medical doctor/anthropologist/Ivy League President, such as Jim Yong Kim, gets to be a World Bank president, beyond his serving the poor and trying to address the correlation of public health and developing countries. Or, maybe that’s the point – the global economy and public health are very much tied together. Plus: check YouTube – Kim did a Michael Jackson tribute at a Dartmouth variety show. And, he seems like a pretty cool inspiration for APAs and Americans generally (as noted by Angry Asian Man). So, good luck, with the World Bank, Dr. Kim…
Also: Charlie Rose had a cool interview with Dr. Kim. Oh, and Dr. Kim on leadership – and how his dad was a Tiger Dad (previously noted here in Triscribe):
