Latest Talks, Events & Media
Here you’ll find my latest media interviews, talks, and events. This space is where I share ideas and help spark conversations at the intersections of science, policy, and practice.
I host PopTalks—a conversation series where I bring together experts and community voices to explore the big forces shaping our future. From climate change and AI to global conflicts and population shifts, we talk about what’s changing, what’s at stake, and how we can drive bold solutions in public health and society.
Population dynamics is a core focus of my work—because how populations change shapes how we live, work, and build our futures. I joined 60 Minutes to talk about fertility rates, not just as a statistic, but as a window into the social, economic, and policy forces shaping people’s lives and choices today.
Health, Migration and the Power of Imagination with Thoai Ngo
🎙️ On the “Not Really Strangers” podcast by USA for UNHCR, I join Suzanne Ehlers to talk about my journey — from leading global research to improve health and social outcomes for young people and marginalized communities, to my personal story as a refugee from Vietnam.
It’s a conversation about resilience, imagination, and the power of community — and how these can bridge distance and help build a more just future.
