Lee Wilkers
Research, strategy, and sensemaking for health, science, and public-interest work.
I help people and organizations make sense of evidence, context, and competing priorities – bringing clearer thinking, stronger grounding, and practical direction to complex work.
I’ve spent 10+ years in and around global health ethics, after earlier work in humanitarian relief, ecology, and other formative detours.
I’m interested in tools, broadly: things you hold in your hand (hand tools, cameras, computers), and things you hold in your head (concepts, frameworks, protocols). I’m especially interested in tools that sharpen judgment and intuition without replacing them.
Some things I’ve worked on
- organizational learning in disease-control campaigns
- technology partnerships for public-health campaigns: microplanning, supply chains, and field-team feedback
- measuring campaign effectiveness beyond “coverage”
- consent, refusal, and drug resistance in public-health campaigns
- public engagement in the governance of gene drives and other contested technologies
- care systems for survivors of intimate partner violence
- wetland microbes, ecological networks, and “small” interactions with planetary consequences
- extreme-environment microbes and the design of closed ecosystems for spaceflight
