You can read his article on tuberculosis in publications including The Australian, National Post (Canada), La Prensa (Nicaragua), The Nation (Kenya), Milenio (Mexico), Tempi (Italy), Portfolio (Hungary), Philippine Daily Inquirer, , Jakarta Post (Indonesia), Jordan Times, Morgunbladid (Iceland), Addis Fortune (Ethiopia).
