Elizabeth Pisani is the director of Ternyata Ltd., a public health consultancy based in London, UK. She is formerly a journalist and currently an epidemiologist best known for her work on HIV/AIDS, in particular for her controversial book The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels and the Business of AIDS,and her TED Talk "Sex, drugs, and HIV - let's get rational." Her work explores the interaction between science, politics and culture, and has most recently focused on Indonesia.
As an epidemiologist she has done research and worked as an advisor for the Ministries of Health of China, Indonesia, East Timor and the Philippines, and for organisations such as the UNAIDS, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Bank, and the World Health Organization. Most of her work has focused on HIV, sexually transmitted infections and sexual and drug-taking behaviour, and on building robust disease surveillance systems. . More recently she worked with the Wellcome Trust and other major funders of public health research to increase the sharing of data between scientists so that more knowledge can be squeezed out of expensive field research.
Pisani has written a wide variety of research papers and institutional reports on HIV/AIDS, include the first two editions of the biennial global report on AIDS for the United Nations programme on AIDS, as well as technical manuals on disease surveillance and advocacy papers. In 2008, she published The Wisdom of Whores, which argues that a substantial portion of the funding devoted to HIV/AIDS is wasted on ineffective programming, the result of science and good public health policy being trumped by politics and ideology. It was long-listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-fiction in 2009.The following year, she gave a TED talk arguing that the "rational" health belief model that underpins many public health campaigns are quite irrational from the point of view of those they target.
In late 2011, Pisani took a sabbatical from her day job to explore Indonesia, where she had previously worked in her capacity as an epidemiologist and public health advocate. She blogged about her travels at Portrait Indonesia from late 2011-2013. At the end of 2013, she moved her blog to a new site, Indonesia, Etc. Her travels there form the basis of a book, Indonesia, Etc.: Exploring the Improbable Nation, which was published to critical acclaim in June 2014. At the end of 2014 the book was listed among the best non-fiction books of the year by both The Economist and The Wall Street Journal.
While working on Indonesia Etc, Pisani renewed her longstanding interest in political science. She has contributed essays on Indonesian politics to Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, Nikkei Asia Review and others. In seminars from 2014, she began to explore using the tools of epidemiology to look at political "diseases", particularly corruption and conflict.
