Can you imagine a day in the life of an epidemiologist and public health researcher? Why are these professionals so crucial to address social inequities in health, especially among vulnerable populations?
This month I spoke with Aysha Farwin to reply to these and other questions. Aysha is an epidemiologist and public health researcher at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where she is currently pursuing her PhD degree. According to her own inspiring words, she is "passionate about tackling health disparities in vulnerable populations in the community".
Despite how pandemics can threaten us, it is an insightful conversation about our potential to build a better society. I am delighted to bring you a great perspective on the role of epidemiology and public health research can play in tackling social vulnerability.
