For Advocates & Culture Changers

The fault lines in medicine are worth staying with. You already know that.

If you're working to change medical culture — whether through research, teaching, policy, writing, community-building, or simply refusing to accept the status quo — this site was built in that same spirit. The work here is not finished. Neither is yours. That's why you're here.

The movements

What collective action in medicine can look like

Both of these movements began not with institutions, but with individuals willing to name something that wasn't being named. That is still how culture changes.

#ILookLikeASurgeon The full history of a movement that started with a single tweet and reached a billion impressions. How it was built, what it produced, and what it continues to mean. #UnmaskMedicine A growing conversation about what medicine asks of those inside it — and an invitation to help build what comes next.
The research

The data behind the conversations

This scholarship sits at the intersection of culture, identity, equity, and technology in medicine. Each area began as a question the field wasn't yet fully asking.

Health Equity Research On cultural self-awareness, bias, and what it actually takes to care equitably for every patient. Social Media in Medicine Research On how digital platforms have changed advocacy, community, and voice in surgery — and what that means for culture change at scale. Surgical Identity Research On stereotypes, representation, and the evolving image of who surgeons are — and who gets to become one.
Emerging conversations

Where the next fault lines are forming

These are the conversations that feel early — the ones that may look unconventional now but have a track record of finding their moment. If you're already thinking about these, you're in the right place.

Neurodiversity in Surgery On cognitive difference, belonging, and what medicine loses when it demands neurological conformity. What I'm Thinking About Now A living page of current questions, reading, and emerging work — updated as things evolve.
Connect & collaborate

This work is better done together

If you're working on something at the intersection of any of these ideas — and want to think together, collaborate, or just share what you're seeing — I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
