I’ve been an STS scholar since my PhD days at Lancaster University (2011-2015), and throughout my 8 years as a postdoctoral researcher. I am now a lecturer in sociology of public health in the Department of Public Health, Policy and Systems at the University of Liverpool. Overall, my research focuses on the relationship between science and medicine, including how biomedical knowledge gets translated into public health policy and practice, healthcare practice, and what this means for people’s everyday lives. I’m currently working on a funded research project, exploring the controversy around the B-vitamin folate (and folic acid), together with my colleague Dr Bryan Lim.
Being elected as an EASST council member, I will bring a commitment to continuing the work already done on supporting early-career researchers for everyone to feel part of the STS community. In line with this, I will also bring a commitment to fostering and promoting the excellent work of the STS community in engaging conversations and collaborations within and across academic and policy worlds, including how STS scholarship can contribute to thinking differently about problems and their solutions.
