I write about health care, public health, and topics related to my research with the goal of making advanced concepts, complex information, and nuanced interpretations more accessible.
My book co-authored with Anupam Jena “RANDOM ACTS OF MEDICINE: The Hidden Forces That Sway Doctors, Impact Patients, and Shape Our Health” is available now!
In the spirit of Random Acts of Medicine, I write a weekly newsletter by the same name with Bapu—check it out and sign up here!
