Last Chance To
Enter Our 10 Mock Serious Commandments Contest
$500 Prize Offered
Deadline Extended
To August 31
Winner To Be
Announced In September Issue
We continue to receive
entries for our mock serious 10 epidemiology commandments contest, but
the deadline is fast approaching. To give everyone adequate time after
reading this reminder, we are extending the deadline for submission to
August 31, 2019 and will announce the winner in our September issue.
Readers are encouraged
to work together with colleagues to formulate and submit entries which
include a full set of 10 mock serious commandments.
If you are very
creative but cannot come up with a full set of 10 commandments, we
will consider any number of commandments less than 10 for special
mention in the newsletter.
Rules for the contest
are reprinted below.
To help stimulate your
creative talents, below are samples of commandments we have received
to date:
| ♦ |
Honor thy interactions in the presence of main
effects. |
| ♦ |
Thou shalt not stratify in vain. |
| ♦ |
Thou shalt not intimately involve thyself with what
befell an individual, only I know that. Thy domain is with the
population. |
| ♦ |
Thou shalt not claim to have proven something. Thou
comparest observed vs expected, and that is enough. |
| ♦ |
Thou shalt not add co-author that does none. |
| ♦ |
Let your will be done reviewers. Not mine. |
| ♦ |
Fishing expeditions are for the weekend. |
| ♦ |
Know thy purpose! And stay true to it, even as thou
produceth and discusseth thine analyses |
| ♦ |
Don’t eat at buffets. |
|
Rules
| |
All entries must be received by August 31,
2019 at
editor@epimonitor.net. If similar entries are
received, the earliest received will have precedence. All
entries must be original, created by the contestant, and
not previously published elsewhere. The editor reserves
the right to make the final selection of the contest
winner, and all submissions become the property of the
Epidemiology Monitor. Individuals may join together as a
group and submit an entry or entries by department, school
or other entity. A set must contain at least 10
commandments to win. Fewer than 10 compete for special
mention. We reserve the right to nullify the contest if
too few entries are submitted, though we think this is
unlikely given all the creative entries we have received
from our previous contests! |
