Contributing Editor, Harvard Public Health

I edited features, opinion articles, and book reviews for Harvard Public Health magazine from January 2024 until it closed in February 2025. We examined solutions that aim to address some of the world’s urgent public health problems.

Read stories by health care journalists, critics, and opinion leaders Eric Coles, Grace Han, Rod McCullom, Paul Adepoju, Felice J. Freyer, Liz Seegert, Alexandra Moe, Andrew Green, Rachel Fairbank, Maura Kelly, Julia M. Klein, Will James, and Veronica Adamson. Find out about efforts to improve health care access and outcomes, fight AIDs and malaria, address the shortage of home health care workers, help grieving fathers, improve research outcomes, reduce traffic deaths, save lives during wildfires, and more.
