About

Welcome to my internet home! I’m Shiying and I’m passionate about all things public health. Complexity and interdependencies within global health and health systems research excite me. I started this website to share stuff I would have loved to find on the internet- but couldn’t. To find out more, check out what I'm doing now. You can also view my resume here.

On this site, I write about:

• Public Health People. I meet with different professionals from around the globe to uncover their journeys into public health, extract the greatest insights from their fields, and share their principles for work and life.
• Public Health Concepts. I write about ideas in Public Health that I am excited about.
• Personal Reflections. Get up close and personal with me as I consolidate my thoughts on university life, my current endeavours and stuff I have learned.

My favourite articles to get you started:

• Order in a Time of Chaos: The Women Bringing Sense to Pandemic Nonsense
• Forget Doctors Without Borders: On Health Systems and Capacity Building with Dr. Natarajan Rajaraman
• University Life: An Emotional Snapshot
• Reflections From My Third Year at College: Making Possibilities Real
• How Can Healthcare Workers Help Us Plan For A Good Death?
• The Power of Moments In Patient-Centred Care

In my free time, I love to read, write and paint. Here are my top five favourite books:

• Figuring by Maria Popova
• The Complex Alternative: Complexity Scientists on the COVID-19 Pandemic, Edited by David C. Krakauer and Geoffrey West
• All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
• We Crossed A Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria by Wendy Pearlman
