I created this site out of a desire to bridge the worlds of global health and law. I hope that you enjoy our content, and if you want to help, we’ll be glad to have you onboard. We’re fortunate to be able to project our voices onto the internet; we’re going to speak fully till our lungs are dry.

Hello! I am a co-founder of healthtwine. This is an ambitious title for me, seeing that I have absolutely no computer savvy. But I’ve got ideas! And enthusiasm! I’m a cheerleader basically, with some editing skills.

Key Goals for this Website

These are the guiding principles behind our site. As we continue to grow, we will strive to fulfill each of these capacities. Ultimately, we hope to bring people together in a conversation about global health and law.
