It’s good to meet you. Call me “G” for short.
I’m a field health economist @ Johns Hopkins University, fascinated by the factors that influence (and sometimes enable) people to have access to healthcare, particularly the cognitive and financial access to healthcare. Currently, I’m estimating the cost of vaccine-preventable diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa and South & East Asia to assess how illness drives people into poverty.
I love the work we do and I’m an enthusiastic science communicator & open access advocate @ Non Solum Data & Public Health United

I also worked on the concept of health literacy from both a sociological and public policy perspective: how it was developed as a concept, a measure and a framework for interventions, and how it progressed on the public agenda as a public health issue.
