I've given featured talks and keynotes at state and national public health conferences and history conferences and presented my work at academic institutions and organizations across the U.S. and in Europe. 


I frequently talk to the media about the history of medicine and public health, especially the modern era of immunization, the debate over vaccines, the modern history of pesticides (especially the rise and fall of DDT), and the larger context for current epidemic and pandemic diseases.
