I am a professor in the Department of Health Law, Policy and Management and Assistant Dean for Practice at the Boston University School of Public Health, and senior policy advisor to CityHealth, an initiative of the de Beaumont Foundation and Kaiser Permanente. I am also a member of the Cannabis Advertising and Social Media (CASM) research group, a member of the steering committee of the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health, and scientific chair of the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance. I have worked as an advisor to the World Health Organization and the World Bank, and have navigated coming out issues all over the world in the course of a long career in public health. I’m happy to be as helpful as I can be to others trying to figure out having the public and private lives they want.
