Hello all. I am an editor at large at POZ magazine and its sister publications Hep and Cancer Health, where I cover the science of HIV, hepatitis C and cancer. I have also written for The New York Times, The Guardian, New York, The Nation, The Atlantic, The Marshall Project, The Village Voice, The New York Observer, Men’s Journal, City & State, Quartz, Out and The Advocate. My web site is http://www.benryan.net and my Twitter is http://www.twitter.com/benryanwriter.
In my investigative work, I exposed Governor Rick Scott’s administration for overseeing the effective blocking of $70 million to combat Florida’s HIV crisis. I also broke new ground in the narrative behind Harvey Weinstein’s questionable financial dealings with the HIV charity amfAR. And I assisted with a Times investigation into nursing homes that are hotbeds of a highly fatal drug-resistant fungal infection.
Hello everyone! I’m a health and wellness and business writer and former DJ/Wall Street Journal reporter. I’ve been meaning to join for a while. I tend to write a lot about chronic health issues and integrative/functional medicine. In the last month, I’ve been doing a bunch of reporting on COVID-19, so figured now was a great time to join. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Debbie

Thank you AHCJ for this honor and congratulations to all fellow new members! Its a privilege to introduce myself on this distinguished forum. I am Dr. Jaivir Rathore (Dr.J) a board certified neurologist and neurosurgical epilepsy/seizure specialist; fellowship trained at Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins, I was Chief Epilepsy Fellow, part time neurology faculty and Vice-Chair of Johns Hopkins Clinical Fellows Council in Baltimore MD. Currently serving as the Director, Division of Epilepsy, Dept of Neurology, Watson Clinic and Consultant neurologist at Lakeland Regional Health (5th largest hospital in Florida and one of the busiest ER in the US). I am a Harvard published researcher, my work as a lead author had NIH funding through Cleveland Clinic and I also serve as a scientific reviewer for the official journal (Neurology) of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). I am new to healthcare journalism and wish to help spread the healthcare awareness and mitigate the ignorance and falsehood that’s rampant here in US and across the globe. I am interested in collaborating with esteemed writers here, please let me know. Stay Safe! Thanks!
Jai.
