I draw on my research and public-facing work to interpret developments that deserve closer attention.
Beyond the immediate headline, I examine what the evidence means and why it matters to the people affected.
Community and policy
I attended the UK Parliament launch of ACORD UK’s report on the Romanian diaspora. It provides a valuable starting point: bringing fragmented evidence together, making important data gaps visible and establishing a foundation for better research and policy.
Research and public health
At a graduate conference in Bucharest, I spoke about Romania’s rich but underused health and demographic data, and the careful work needed to turn those records into credible public-health evidence.
Media retrospective
I bring together my media appearances on hantavirus and revisit the explanation at their centre. Its routes of transmission and the differences between the Andes strain and European hantaviruses matter far more to risk assessment than superficial comparisons with COVID-19.
Community health
At the first Romanian Health Multi-Stakeholder Roundtable in London, I spoke about vaccine hesitancy and why health advice can fail when it overlooks a community’s experience and sources of trust.
