Reverse alchemy

Modern government is reverse alchemy. It turns gold into lead.
– Me

This is me.

I'm a clinical computational epidemiologist, data scientist and researcher with an emphasis on using large-scale genomic data sets for clinical decision support.
With this blog, I pursue two two main goals: making public health and epidemiology intelligible to diverse audiences by explaining fundamental concepts and dispelling various myths and misconceptions, and helping early-career scientists - not just in epidemiology! - master presenting their insights to the public in a cogent, intelligible manner. There has never been more demand and more need for voices that can articulate complex yet important issues to the public, and there’s so little that prepares us for it. And inbetween, I talk a lot about data visualization and aesthetics, computer vision, IoT, health policy and episodes from my life – and the things that I get out of bed for: my wife, our cat, cute photos of marsupials and finding out new things.
