Eric Liang Feigl-Ding (born March 28, 1983) is an American public health scientist who is currently an epidemiologist and Chief of COVID Task Force at the New England Complex Systems Institute.[1] He was formerly a faculty member and researcher at Harvard Medical School and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He is also the Chief Health Economist for Microclinic International, and co-founder of the World Health Network.[2] His research and advocacy have primarily focused on obesity, nutrition, cancer prevention, and biosecurity.

In January 2020, Feigl-Ding sounded an early alarm about COVID-19 and called for preparedness. His call for pandemic alarm went viral on Twitter and was amplified by media outlets.[3][4][5] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Feigl-Ding's Twitter posts on the matter have been popular.[3][6][7][5] His tweets on the pandemic have been criticized by other scientists as alarmist, misleading, and inaccurate.[8][9][10][11]
