Excited to head to APHA's annual meeting in Boston tomorrow. If you want to meet up, let me know: I'll need to clear it with my security detail before you're able to safely physically approach me.
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
