Celebrating Four Decades of
Communicating About Epidemiology
The Epidemiology Monitor had its debut as a simple 8
page newsletter at the meeting of the Society for Epidemiologic
Research in Minneapolis in June 1980. Since that time it has become
known as “the voice of epidemiology”, and a must read for news about
people and developments in the field, including the latest job
opportunities. Also, we have been a much appreciated source of light
humor with our multiple reader contests and other humorous items.
To celebrate our 40th year, we plan to
publish Epi Wit and Wisdom II : The Best of The Epidemiology Monitor.
The first volume published in 2000 was a compilation of our most
noteworthy news reports, interviews, keynote addresses, special
articles describing resources, interesting letters, obituaries of
well-known figures, and humorous items and contests. We especially
remember a haiku imparted to us at the time by the late Jeffrey
Davis, a much respected and well-liked epidemiologist in Wisconsin
for many years.
Relevant, concise
At twenty years, venerable
Worthy of praise
You can help us celebrate our 40th year by
emailing us to share what you like the most about the Epi Monitor and
what it means to you today or has meant to you over the years. No need
to write a haiku. Send comments or simply cut and paste the following
incomplete sentences in an email to
editor@epimonitor.net and fill in the blanks with your own words
and adjectives. We would like to publish the email comments and/or
completed sentences we receive.
