I'm a social epidemiologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, where I research the social causes and consequences of epidemics. I'm also a mother of four children, a writer and artist, and a lifelong learner.

I care about people's lives and stories.

Please say hi, and let me know what's on your mind.
