Career

Osmundson's research on protein structure and function has been published in scientific journals such as Cell[3] and PNAS.[4] He is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor of Biology at New York University.

Osmundson’s creative work on bodies, queerness, race, and geography has appeared, among others, in Medium,[5] The Village Voice,[6] the Los Angeles Review of Books,[7] Gawker,[8] Guernica,[9] the Kenyon Review,[10] the Lambda Literary Review,[11] and the Feminist Wire,[12] where he is an associate editor.

Osmundson's third book, Virology, was published in June 2022 by Norton.[16] The essay collection focusses on "the social and scientific impact of viruses through the lens of queer theory, race, capitalism, and the legacy of HIV/AIDS activism". The New York Times said, "Osmundson writes with the disarming voice of that teacher who makes science cool, even radical."[17]

In 2022, Time included Osmundson on their Time100 Next list of emerging leaders, citing Osmundson as, "instrumental in guiding New York City’s [<nowiki/>[[monkeypox]]] vaccine distribution, helping implement a program that brings shots to places where people meet for sex and pushing for more inclusive eligibility criteria."[18]
