Information this site collects. This website is a static, informational site. It does not set cookies, does not use web analytics, and does not collect, request, or store personal information from visitors.
Forms and contact links. The only interactive form is the speaking & media inquiry form.

Third-party links. This site links to external resources (for example, Allegheny Health Network, Google Scholar, PubMed, ORCID, LinkedIn, X, VuMedi, and media outlets). Those sites have their own privacy practices, which govern your use of them.
