Bram Wispelwey
Internal medicine and global health equity resident at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School
In a previous life I was an LGBT-rights activist, and in medicine I’m looking to bring that radicalism to the bedside, to writing, to advocacy. My interests include health equity in global and local contexts, universal health care, (elimination of) racial and socioeconomic health disparities, and medical ethics. I work in medicine, but play and dream in the kingdom of literature.

These evil people need to be locked away.
