What I do
I see everything as interconnected, whatever the organization or subject.
Each part of my work is like light coming off the facet of a jewel: all part of the whole, but also bright on its own. Research, governance, writing, teaching, tools, and art are the facets. Universal human rights is the jewel.
It's the same way One Health sees the world: nothing stands alone.
