So, What Is Petrie-Flom?

Although our bloggers come from all over the place, Bill of Health is housed within the Petrie-Flom Center at Harvard Law School.  So here’s a little but about us, in case you’re interested.

The Center is entering its 8th year, and has produced some fantastic scholars (and scholarship) to date in the fields of health law policy, biotechnology, and bioethics.  Our main programs have been fellowships for post-docs and students, as well as a variety of workshops, panel discussions, and conferences.  But we’re expanding now, into the blogging world and elsewhere.  If you’d like to learn more, check out our website and add yourself to our list serve for periodic updates.  And if you’re ever in Cambridge, please stop by to say hi!

Introducing Our Collaborators

Bill of Health is lucky to have lined up a few really great institutional collaborators.  Let’s meet them:

First, HealthLawProf Blog will be cross-posting its material on our site, helping Bill of Health achieve its goal of becoming a true one-stop-shop for news and commentary in health law, biotech, and bioethics.

Second, the folks at the Public Health Law Research Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (headed up by Temple’s Scott Burris) will be providing regular updates on their great work in empirical public health law.  You can also follow them on:

And last but not least, Yale’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, which puts together a stellar weekly round-up of recently published bioethics scholarship, op-eds, news items, etc. will be allowing us to post a version of that round-up here.  Check for it on Friday afternoons.

If you’re interested in pursuing an institutional collaboration, please let us know.  Contact Holly Fernandez Lynch, hlynch at law dot harvard dot edu.
