I obtained my Ph. D through research at the University of Wales College of Medicine (Cardiff, UK), on the molecular mechanisms underlying prostate and breast cancer. In 1990, I switched careers to focus on promoting the public understanding of science and health. I have held positions with the World Health Organization Global Programme on AIDS, the UN Joint Programme on AIDS, and various non-governmental organizations, managing documentation programmes, writing and editing HIV/AIDS-related technical guidelines and policy materials, as well as developing information dissemination strategies. I have also been Scientific Editor of two popular scientific journals: the British Journal of Hematology and the European Journal of Cancer. My current interests include the design and implementation of community dialogue and information exchange systems using email and internet technology, and reconstruction of the notion of 'community' in relation to HIV & AIDS.
