Speaker

I am available to present to select groups. My presentations are tailored to each different audience, and can be for example: a 4-hour or a 1-hour CME lecture—or a totally non-medical presentation. Consistent with my life, my presentations are informed by literature, classical studies, history, music, art, math and science. My presentations are inspirational as well as educational, and are not political. As a polymath, my interests are broad and transcend medicine, including Gender Medicine. My message is universal; the Blue Marble icon that you see on every page of my website, is my most minimal perspective.
