In the eighth month of 2020, in which the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic remains a global health crisis and there is heightened awareness of structural racism in our society, I’ve chosen to step back from these critical issues and briefly reflect on the legacy of G. Octo Barnett, MD, medical informatics pioneer, who died at the end of June.

庆祝医学博士G. Octo Barnett。

在2020年的第8个月中，COVID-19（2019年的冠状病毒病）大流行仍然是全球健康危机，并且社会对结构性种族主义的认识日益提高，我选择从这些关键问题中退后一步，并简短地反思继承医学信息学先驱G. Octo Barnett的遗产，他于6月底去世。
