Epi Wit & Wisdom Resources
In many ways, this was the easiest to prepare of
all the chapters in Epidemiology Wit & Wisdom. The overriding
criterion for selecting articles in this chapter was that they should
still be useful to epidemiologists today and this criterion was easier
to interpret than criteria having to do with wisdom or insight.
Why were these articles judged
so useful and of such enduring value?
Sometimes it had to do with the
knowledge and experience of the writer which was so deep that the tips
provided really hit the mark. We think this is the case with the
articles on advocacy and on dealing with the media. Sometimes, it may
have had more to do with the striving for excellence or
comprehensiveness on the part of the writers. Robert McKeown’s lengthy
book review of Rothman and Greenland’s Modern Epidemiology and Karyn
Pomerantz’ reading list fit the bill for that criterion. Sometimes,
the insights were valuable because of the direct personal experience
of the writer, such as the pieces on careers in private practice and
in industry, on job interviewing, on funding, on teaching, and on the
use of technology. Other items were included because they provided
unique information, even though it may be a bit dated, e.g.
information about best books and epidemiology subspecialties.
This chapter could appropriately
be renamed “Colleagues Sharing Their Wealth.” We trust you will profit
as much this time around as you did the first time. And if this is
your first encounter with this material, we know you will not lose by
investing your time here.
