“Only Connect”

⊕

The tagline, “Only Connect”, a fragment from E. M. Forster, provides a motto for this personal site, which serves as a sandbox and a hub, connecting my public health practice to extracurricular fields of interest.

I use this site to compile my occasional writing and speeches, my peer-reviewed papers, my coding experiments, and my updated résumé. Do subscribe to my RSS/Atom feed if you are so inclined.
