I am a Professor of Microbiology at Nova Southeastern University (NSU). I teach courses in virology and bacteriology, with emphasis on the medical aspects of infectious disease, for students in the medical, public health, and other allied health fields. I fell into teaching quite by accident, but it is one of the most joyful experiences of my life. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I am involved in efforts to promote public health. I do this with the help of my blog (drmayi.com) and by giving interviews on diseases relevant to public health. I have been a spokesperson for NSU on Zika virus infection as well as sepsis, necrotizing fasciitis and re-emerging infections such as measles.

My second book is about the bully from my first book. In 'SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE,' I dealt with school shootings and real world solutions to this horrific problem. In the words of Dr. Scott Poland, first responder at Columbine, and National school violence responder and prevention trainer: "A timely masterpiece as we all search for solutions to school violence. This book is a must read for educators, parents, and students in today’s world." I write because it is cathartic, I write because I feel that the knowledge I have can truly improve lives. Please let me know your thoughts about my books. If you have any questions about the material, feel free to ask me.
