Hi all -- new to Mastodon. I'm a professor who studies public health ethics, public health law, and history of medicine & public health (19th c. Americanist).
I do policy work, teach, design programs and curricula, and work closely with students.
Otherwise: I train Brazilian jiujitsu (about 9 years), love Star Wars, Batman, and coffee. I like to bake, esp. bread.
