Dr. Lyon is also an Editor of the Journal of Health and Human Rights. He has worked extensively in Haiti since 1996 on behalf of the renowned Partners in Health organization, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and co-founded by Dr. Paul Farmer.

It was a great interview, as Dr. Lyon talked to us about health inequalities, as well as several projects he has been working on (including a fascinating prison project). The podcast will be available on iTunes for free by Tuesday afternoon at this link (http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733)! Listen for the interview, as well as our Case of the Week (email us at radiorounds@gmail.com if you know the answer and for a chance to win a prize; we will randomly draw a winner from the correct responses!).

Up next! On Sunday August 23 (live streaming on our website (http://radiorounds.blogspot.com)at 12pm ET), we will be joined by Dr. Elissa Ely, a psychiatrist in Boston, Massachusetts and an Op-Ed Columnist for The New York Times and The Boston Globe. Dr. Ely is also a former contributor to National Public Radio (NPR). Tune in this Sunday, as Dr. Ely has some great stories to share!
