Published Work

It's important to me to share the things I learn. Sometimes this takes the form of a research paper. Other times it takes the form of an opinion piece. Other times, I share my experience with journalists. Here's a sampling of this work.

Op-Eds

I took part in the Public Voices Fellowship, with the Op Ed Project and Academy Health. This helped me find my voice for audiences outside of research. Here are the op-eds I've published so far:

• "Anti-Science Harassment is on the Rise". In: Inside Higher Ed.
• "Medical disinformation is bad for our health and for democracy". In: The Fulcrum.
• "Harassment in public health is real. Here’s how to respond". In: Harvard Public Health.

Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles

Journal articles help researchers build on each others' work. For a full record of mine, check out my ORCID page. Here are some highlights.

One topic I study is the role of social media in public health. Sometimes I use statistics and computational methods to study large amounts of communication. Other times, I use qualitative methods to go more in-depth with smaller amounts. These are some of the subjects I've studied:

• US state public health agencies' use of Twitter
• Social media use by community organizations

Another topic I study is the role of technology in access to health care:

• Effectiveness of remote cognitive behavioral therapy
• Co-design of a website to increase diversity in clinical trials

I'm also interested in the unintended harms of online communication in public health:

• Lowering the harm of online harassment in public health
• Unintended risks of data sharing for community-engaged research

Reference Book Chapters

Reference books are other important outlets for researchers. They help students and professionals get more familiar with a particular research area.

• LGBTQ+ adolescent health and media. In: Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health.
