Statistics and soap operas: population dynamics at Hopkins.
Since its inception in 1964, the Department of Population Dynamics has broken new ground in building interdisciplinary collaboration among the diverse fields of biological, social, and management sciences. The collaboration has produced uniquely well-prepared professionals, yielded some innovative research efforts, and advanced training and communication in the field of family planning. From Dr. Paul Harper's determination to build a center for sharing experiences in population planning, a world center for population dynamics has grown.
