Life is an interdisciplinary adventure. The way be behave both personally and as a society is modulated by various factors; how much money we have, educational attainment, what we eat, our familal structure, what our healthcare system is like, societal laws, morals and many more. We have spent decades trying to define the role that each of these have on our health, wellbeing and life prospects. However, I contend that we cannot understand anything about behaviour, until we understand how all of these factors interact, particularly in these uncertain times. This is the central tenet of the value of interdisciplinarity and in this talk I will give some local and global examples as to how this apprach can be used to better effect to interact with the challenges that face humanity.
