Being a doctor inspires him to write stories that educate people to learn more about their body and health. As an infectious disease specialist, he has a particular interest in bugs and drugs.

Actor Olivia Munn, 43, is raising awareness about the breast cancer risk assessment tool that led to her early diagnosis, despite an unrevealing mammogram just two months before. Munn was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 at age 42 and subsequently underwent four surgeries, including a double mastectomy, but wrote in an Instagram post that she is “lucky” her OB-GYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, caught it in time.
