Contest on Best Advice From An Epidemiologist Receives Multiple
Entries
The Epidemiology Monitor has received multiple entries
in our new contest launched last month to identify the best advice
from epidemiologists on how to live your life. We were inspired to
create the contest after reading advice from different animals and
other parts of the natural world published by the Earth, Sun, and Moon
trading company (e.g., advice from a tree, Go out on a limb,
and Drink plenty of water).
Sample Entries
Below are sample entries we have received along with a
reprint of the rules for the contest. We hope these entries will
prompt further competition from our readers seeking to provide equally
or more helpful advice in keeping with the deep wisdom of the
epidemiology profession! Our first prize is $300.
Some of the advice from epidemiologists received so
far:
Don’t be afraid to be normal.
Try to make a difference in the world, or at least
detect one.
Push your confidence limits.
Don’t let outcomes confound you.
Make your associations strong.
Survival is important: but remember, in the long run
we’re all dead.
Watch out for bias.
Eat dessert first; and eat the potato salad never.
Contest rules
Submit the most clever double-entendre pieces of advice
from an epidemiologist’s perspective and win a $300 prize. Keep your
pieces of advice short. Second and third place winners will also be
rewarded.
Deadline for submission is May 15. If duplicate
entries are received, the prize will be awarded to the earliest
submissions. We reserve the right to make the final decision. All
submitted entries become the property of The Epidemiology Monitor.
