#Introduction I am an academic at Deakin Law School (Melbourne). I research #regulation and #publichealthlaw incl re #medicalproducts (#medicaldevices #pharmaceuticals) by #regulators like the #TGA #FDA and #EMA.
My research covers #medicalabortion #medicalcannabis #transvaginalmesh #genomics . I draw on theories of #politicallegitimacy #STS #historyofmedicine #scientism #technocracy and #expertise . Previously a snr public servant advising on #publicpolicy & #publiclaw . Also occasional cat.
My attempt to understand international law and the development of policy within the UN is like my effort at deciphering Westworld (season 3 onward). "Who?! What?! Why did that happen? Huh?" #publichealthlaw #humanrights #toilets
