As a resident physician in preventive medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Dr. Burnett works to advance the broader drug policy reform agenda with the goal of shifting U.S. drug policy from a framework based on criminal justice to one based on public health. His passion for drug policy is rooted in eliminating the racial disparities which exist in enforcement practices, in addition to the increasing cost-effectiveness of drug policy by focusing on health and human rights-based programs. As a policy manager at the Drug Policy Alliance’s Office of National Affairs during 2014-15, he successfully co- chaired the Initiative 71 campaign, a ballot measure legalizing the possession of cannabis in the nation’s capital, garnering the support of 70 percent of voters. He continues to work with the local and state governments to advance drug policy reform legislation around the country.
Dr. Burnett attended Duke University for nine years as a student, where he completed a five-year joint M.D. and M.B.A. program, after previously completing a B.S. in Psychology. At Duke he was very active advocating on behalf of students and under-served communities, and served as a Trustee on the Duke University Board of Trustees. 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. Climb the Rock Wall in Wilson Wilson Recreation Center The wall stands 35 feet tall with 11 ropes and over 1400 square feet of climbing surface.

How will you make it? The way in which physical products are developed and manufactured is changing at an exponential rate. Digital manufacturing and new technologies like 3D printing are no longer the tools of deep-pocketed industrialists. These methodologies are quickly replacing massive machines while at the same time enabling concepts like ultra-rapid prototyping, distributed manufacturing, slim production and personalized, custom products. The systems are at a point where they are economically available to nearly everyone. The Innovation Studio was created to address this emerging industry. The lab features fourteen 3D printers using two technologies, a CNC router and a laser cutter as well as numerous small IoT systems. In this tour you’ll learn about how these products are being used at Duke and in industry.
