I’m a plastic surgeon with an interest in gender surgery and hand surgery, and PhD research designer.

The biggest compliment I’ve ever received was from my mentor after winning the award for Best Paper by a Resident at a worldwide congress in plastic surgery, “You deserve this award because, after four years, I finally understand what you’re talking about.” I’ve has been working at getting better at helping people understand what I’m talking about since.

I won’t shut up about evidence-based practice, and the role that we play in science’s life. Sometimes, I’m invited not to shut up about it by important people and institutions globally.

I used to run the Critical Mass Fellowship for health practitioners and writers who are looking to transform the way they see health research in their careers.

I used to write my blog, Evidence-based Fitness which are a series of case-studies on how research interpretation went wrong.

When I’m not working, I can be found on a Lindy Hop dance floor, mixing up a cocktail on the fly, nerding out on comic books and looking for hidden places wherever I am.

What I’m doing now.
