    If anyone actually wants to become an epidemiologist, I'm more than happy to help. Pandemic or no, it's a fascinating and fulfilling career, would recommend! DM/email awayhttps://twitter.com/Doc_Courtney/status/1302437368385990657 …

    There are far too many people saying they’re an epidemiologist these days, when they aren’t.

        Its a trick. Epidemiology is just geography with maths

        I admit to looking at some Masters courses and thinking, "I can't justify the cost/time right now, much as I'd find it interesting."

        Ha! I was actually considering this, as I have worked in health for a decade, lastly as a data/admin person, and have a psych degree as my bachelor. Good to know that you’re there as an advice giver!

        Epidemiology is now corrupt. To be fair, science self-corrects on longer time scales. That the field has been corrupted does not mean it is invalid when not targeted for corruption.

        I'm in my junior year of my statistics major. I didn't realize how broad epidemiology was until working on a (mock) literature review for scientific English writing. My topic is long-term outcomes for infants diagnosed with NAS. I was surprised to see so many epidemiology papers

        It makes sense that there would be, but I guess I've gotten so used to hearing about epidemiology and contagious disease outbreaks, I forgot how broad it really is!
