Good epidemiology resource

By tsmith on June 8, 2007.

I keep saying I'm going to update my blogroll, and really, one of these days I'll get to it. In the meantime, I'll keep highlighting a few of the sites that I'll be adding. One of these is Epidemiologic Inquiry, kind of one-stop-shopping for epidemiologists. The site includes updates on epi and research matters and links to other sources of information (such as a list of textbooks), and also has job and fellowship boards.

The high cost of academic reimbursement

September 29, 2017

Spring, 2004. I was in the second year of my post-doc, with kids ages 4 and 2. Because I was no longer a student, the full brunt of my student loan payments had hit me, which were collectively almost double the cost of my mortgage. To put it generously, money was tight. Truthfully, we were broke as…
