Introduction post: I’m an MD/MHS candidate at Duke University School of Medicine. My main focus is on nicotine/tobacco research (regulatory science, epidemiology, and health equity). I also study tobacco and cannabis co-use and intersections between substance use and pain/disability. Let’s connect!
