PHAB Promoting Health Across Boundaries Problem A view of health too narrowly focused on disease and health care has resulted in unhealthy people, families, communities, environments, and fragmented, unsustainable health care systems.
PHAB Promoting Health Across Boundaries Mission The mission of the PHAB initiative is to advance the knowledge and practice of boundary-spanning activities that enable health.

Robert May, President of the Royal Society “Application of the physical and biological sciences has made today arguably the best of times… But the unintended consequences of these well-intentioned actions…could well make tomorrow the worst of times. The significant breakthrough we really need is better understanding of human institutions, particularly of the impediments to collective, cooperative activity in which all individuals pay small costs to reap large group benefits. Darwin recognised the evolution of cooperative behaviour as one of the most important unsolved problems of his day. We have made relatively little progress since then. Perhaps the social scientists of 2056 will have succeeded in combining the rigour of the "hard" (that is, easy) sciences with the thoughtful introspection of the humanities to solve this problem. I certainly hope so.” 18 November 2006, NewScientist.com news service.
