Got a QUESTION?
NEED A QUOTE?
LOOKING FOR
AN EXPERT?
I frequently respond to media enquiries for comments, expert opinion, or other analysis on LGBTQ+ health, global health, and firearm topics.
Depending on my availability, I'm happy to discuss results, press releases, hot-off-the-presses papers, and general issues in health and health policy in the US and global contexts.
Some of my favorite topics to discuss are:
- LGBTQ aging (see me in the PBS series Aging Matters: Aging with Pride)
- LGBTQ health disparities
- Policies that target LGBTQ populations
- Global health issues, like HIV, COVID-19, and Monkeypox
- Child firearm injuries and deaths in the US
- Gun laws
I am also happy to discuss issues relating to social science research funding, doing progressive work from a red state, and diversity and inclusion in academic culture.
