This collection brings together every major topic explored by Dr Jay Varma — from vaccines and infectious diseases to artificial intelligence, climate change, and mental health.
Each hub curates in-depth articles, explainers, and media appearances organized by theme.
Together, they form a living library of trusted, evidence-based insight into the science, systems, and human stories that shape public health today.
Core Public Health Hubs
🧠 AI in Public Health
Explores both sides of the artificial-intelligence revolution — how AI can strengthen surveillance and response, and how misinformation and bias threaten trust in medicine.
🦠 Infectious Disease & Outbreaks
Covers how outbreaks start, spread, and are contained — with real-world analysis of zoonotic spillovers, global preparedness, and the human factors that drive epidemics.

Tracks diseases carried by mosquitoes and ticks — West Nile, Zika, Yellow Fever — and explains how climate change is redrawing global risk maps.
😷 Respiratory Viruses
Connects seasonal influenza, measles, pertussis, and COVID-19 into one narrative about airborne pathogens, vaccination, and the critical role of clean air.
💉 Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Celebrates the power of immunization and explores why vaccines remain essential — even as eradication nears for diseases like polio and measles.
Emerging & Systems-Level Hubs
🧬 Antimicrobial Resistance & Healthcare-Associated Infections
Investigates the global rise of drug-resistant pathogens and the urgent reforms needed in antibiotic stewardship and hospital infection control.
🧘 Mental Health, Wellness & Communication
Highlights the human side of public health — how trust, empathy, and mental well-being shape resilience and recovery across communities.
🎓 Public Health Explained
Educational explainers and lectures that make complex epidemiology accessible — from how outbreaks are detected to how prevention systems work.
🎙️ Thermometer HQ – Media & Appearances
A multimedia archive of Dr Varma’s interviews, podcasts, and briefings — translating science into clear, actionable insight for the public.
Future-Focused Hubs
🌡️ Climate Change & Infectious Disease
Links environmental disruption, deforestation, and extreme weather to the spread of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases worldwide.
💻 Digital Health & Data Modernization
Covers how AI, automation, and data-sharing are reshaping modern public health — from surveillance dashboards to ethical governance.
🧩 Public Health Education & Workforce Development
Explores the training, leadership, and mentorship that build the next generation of public-health professionals.
Each hub is a gateway into a vital area of modern public health — written and curated by Dr Jay Varma to inform, empower, and inspire.
