Global Health & Population (formerly Population & Intl Health)
Harvard School of Public Health
(Research industry)
November 2007 — Present (1 year 2 months)
My bioethics position is funded through Global Health & Population, formerly "the other PIH" (Population and International Health). Our TEAM of philosophers, IRB heads (MDs, PhDs, NPs) do medical ethics, analyzing medical and health issues that touch upon whole populations, societies, individuals, and parties of interest, with philosophical rigor. Current work involves grants, conferences, international travel, publications, calendaring, workshops, and more. I may be learning Mandarin to support our teaching and research in Southeast Asia and China, and I'll be reading widely in certain aspects of medical ethics, both academic and clinical. We interface with WHO and various national and international bodies - professional, academic, scholarly, and academic.

November 2007 — Present (1 year 2 months)
My position is funded through "the other PIH" (Population and International Health) and inside the Department of Social Medicine (DSM), where my other work is done. We're interested in human rights abuses in the developing and developed world. We are a medical ethics group; I work with philosophers with a social science emphasis, touching on medical and health issues. Current work involves grants, conferences, international travel, publications, calendaring, workshops, and more. I'll be learning Mandarin to support our teaching and research in Southeast Asia and China, and I'll be reading widely in certain aspects of medical ethics, both academic and clinical. We interface with WHO and various national and international bodies - professional, academic, scholarly, and academic.

Professional Community Organizer
Meetup.com
(Partnership; Non-Profit Organization Management industry)
December 2002 — Present (6 years 1 month)
Organize vegan and vegetarian meetups for Greater Boston area (http://Vegan.Meetup.com/23/ and http://Vegetarian.Meetup.com/27/).
Helping veg*an folks with SPECIAL interests meet MORE veg*an people with THEIR OWN special interests allows them to meet MANY MORE folks who SHARE those special interests and allows us veg*ans to avoid becoming inappropriately entangled with veg*an mismatches who have nothing in common with any of us EXCEPT those "specialized veg*an interests". Therefore, networking ethical vegetarians and vegans allows us, by dramatically extending our social network of veg*ans, to find closer veg*an friends who are MORE CLOSELY compatibnle with us veg*ans, and not merely nominally compatible or nominally "in agreement with" us veg*ans.
Picky, picky, but isn't that what it MEANS to be vegans!!?? -

Work with Department founder, Dr. Leon Eisenberg, and link with World Health Organization and various continental and national professional medical and social science policymaking bodies.
We spent 5 years developing and running medical education conferences for medical educators, students, and clinicians in applying the incoming tidal wave of new information from genomics research to the teaching and practice of medicine, including critical education about the inherent limits of such information. We develop the departmental research seminars and have raised funding for at least one named Chair/Professorship, prepare formal presentations for named lectures all over the world, and mentor faculty, clinicians, educators, administrators, and medical students. In the course of doing my work, I skim or read many medical journal articles daily/weekly, do various kinds of research, and participate in editing. -

By emphasizing the ecological impact of animal agriculture, I also provided a seamless integration with EarthDay events worldwide and paved the way for GAMO to "go intercontinental" (we were already international because of Canadian involvement).

Manager
Yogurt Yes
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Restaurants industry)
1979 — 1979 (less than a year)
Before soy yogurt became widely available, while I was still a believer in the lacto-vegetarian diet before my days as a vegan, I was assistant store manager for Yogurt Yes, a 3-store chain headquartered in a toney and progressive suburb just outside NYC; my store was in Boston's busy Downtown Crossing area, across from Filene's and Jordan Marsh, once-very busy department store chains headquartered in Boston (those were the signature home stores across the street from us) that no longer exist..
As I had done in a number of chain restaurants, I ordered food and supplies, hired and managed staff, vendors, and contractors (including cleaning and maintenance services), did payroll and marketing/publicity, and did overall troubleshooting.
Through the VRC, I have since attempted to "Make Connections for Plant-Based Diets" in ways which includes but is not limited to foodservice, which includes a vegetarian vision of the entire food supply chain and nutritional or nutrient "columns". -

Store Manager
Various Chain Restaurants
(Public Company; 11-50 employees; Restaurants industry)
1968 — 1974 (6 years)
As store manager in a number of chain restaurants, I ordered food and supplies, hired and managed staff, vendors, and contractors (including cleaning and maintenance services), did payroll and marketing/publicity, and did overall troubleshooting.
I left this to attend graduate school at Harvard, where I became vegetarian. I explored restaurant management again several times as a vegetarian in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but abandoned that for a stint in financial services.
Although I had an intermittent culinary career which included institutional and hotel food service, without being a vegetarian pathbreaker in this area, I couldn't forge a visionary future in vegetarian food services, as others have since done.
Through the VRC, I have since attempted to "Make Connections for Plant-Based Diets" in ways which includes but is not limited to foodservice, which includes a vegetarian vision of the entire food supply chain and nutritional or nutrient "columns". -

Harvard University
I became vegetarian while a graduate student at Harvard, largely through the influence of (1) the Harvard Hunger Action Project (based primarily in the Harvvard Graduate School of Education and some of the H/R chaplaincies) and (2) the various "Simple Living" groups at Harvard Divinity School, who urged us to "live simply so that others could simply live" because "there's enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed."
I later became a vegan, but while at Harvard, I managed to attend a Whole Health Expo, where I met Paul Obis, founder of "Vegetarian Times" magazine, and an NAVS vegetarian summmer conference (now called www.VegetarianSummerfest.org). That helped to change my life, as did hearing vegetarian PSAs on the 24-hour news station while I was supposed to be studying late at night.- Activities and Societies:
