Episode 18: Navigating through public health

This week Joyce speaks with Dr. Meg, Chamberlin. Meg is a social scientist with expertise in public health. Her education has included an undergraduate degree in international affairs and economics at the George Washington University and two masters from the University of Texas at Austin in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies and in Public Affairs and Public Health. After her masters she worked at the US Department of Health and Human Services in the pandemic preparedness and response program! She later went to the Pardee RAND Graduate school for her PhD, where she focused on comparing the treatment of mental and physical health conditions in the US healthcare system.

We’ll talk about all of that and more on this episode. Here’s a link to a long-format journalism piece on misconceptions in obesity and health.
