Boötes The Herdsman Arcturus, the brightest star in the Boötes constellation, functioned for centuries as a tool for orientation: helping travelers, navigators, and field workers establish bearings under uncertain conditions.

Hi, I’m Lee.

I’m an independent consultant. I’m interested in tools and how we use them.

Most of my work has been in and around public health and global health ethics. 10+ years of it now, with formative detours through ecology, hospitality, and amateur woodworking.

These days, I help people with the knots in their work — like the ones in wood, where the grain has to find a way around.

Some things I’ve worked on:

  • disease-control campaigns
  • knowledge management
  • organizational learning systems
  • public engagement around gene drives and other contested technologies
  • ecology for spaceflight
