I-Min Lee is professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Her research, focusing on physical activity for health and well-being, is widely cited: a seminal publication with worldwide collaborators on the impact of inactivity on non-communicable diseases has been cited more than 12,000 times. She is particularly interested in researching how little activity is needed for health, and was among the first to question whether the conventionally accepted “10,000 steps/day” is necessary (the short answer: no).
