Jed Gross
Jed Adam Gross is a native of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, whose manufacturing heritage has been immortalized in the Depression-era photographs of Walker Evans and mourned in Billy Joel's hit song "Allentown." For Jed, however, Eastern Pennsylvania's postindustrial flux provided a happy opportunity to expand his horizons intellectually. In 2002, he earned his B.A. in History and Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was inspired by teachers and mentors including Art Caplan, Ivar Berg, and Rosemary Stevens. A joint J.D.-Ph.D. student, Jed is currently Managing Editor of the Yale Journal of Health Policy, Law, & Ethics and has published work in the Quinnipiac Health Law Journal. His scholarly interests include the political economy of science and health policy (e.g., the funding of organ transplants and allocation of organs), scientific and medical evidence in the courtroom, how the common law responds to technological change, and research methods in the biomedical sciences.
