“Epidemiologists are the eyes and ears of public health…the folks that help let the world know what’s going on and where we’re going. It can be an intense field. It’s a really fun and rewarding field. I have never in one day of my life regretted being an epidemiologist and with the constant supply of health problems, you will never be bored as an epidemiologist.”
