Dear Parents and Guardians, We appreciate your support and cooperation in our school programs. We would like to share important information regarding this Friday's school field trip. Our school had originally planned an outdoor field trip to Dreamland Amusement Park. However, according to the latest weather forecast, extremely low temperatures are expected throughout Friday. Spending long hours outdoors under these conditions may be potentially unsafe for students. After careful consideration, we have decided to change the location. Instead of the amusement park, students will visit the City Science Museum, where they will participate in guided exhibitions and hands-on learning activities. We kindly ask for your understanding. Sincerely, Michael Thompson Vice Principal

Paul Farmer was an American medical anthropologist and physician. He was born in 1959 in Massachusetts and grew up with an early awareness of social inequality. During his time at Duke University, he lived in Paris for half a year and became fluent in French, which benefited him in his future work in Haiti. After graduating from Duke University, he began volunteer work at a hospital in Cangé, Haiti. He later returned to the United States and earned both a master's degree and a PhD in medical anthropology at Harvard University. In 1987, he cofounded Partners In Health, an organization that works in countries like Haiti, Rwanda, and Peru to provide medical treatment and strengthen public health systems. Throughout his life, he wrote more than ten books and over a hundred academic papers. He received many major awards during his career, and after his death, he was also honored with the WHO DirectorGeneral's Global Health Leaders Award for his lifelong work to improve health for the poor.

If our bodies know best, why are they easily injured when we do something so seemingly natural as running? On the one hand, running seems very easy, but that is only because our bodies are so very good at it. The most powerful supercomputer on the planet cannot administer the enormous number of computations it takes to run, untethered, on two legs. Wherever our running intelligence is, running is not all conscious to us and is so complicated that only the T1000 Terminators of our imagination are able to do it. Because our running knowledge is buried so deeply within muscle fibres, cells and our DNA, we have to accept that we cannot fully explain its complexities. That doesn't mean our bodies don't know how to do it. We may feel our way towards understanding the alchemy of running by learning how to use our senses, getting them firing, and seeing what they are capable of, and accepting that our bodies know more about running than we ever will.
