I just got home from the National Conference on Health Communications, Marketing, and Media in Atlanta. I’m full of tons and tons of thoughts- I took a lot of notes and read and wrote a lot of tweets. I’m pretty excited and have some ideas on what kind of jobs I want to start looking for this fall.
Anyway, I’ll write more soon about it. Consider this a placeholder while I decompress and take care of my real-world responsibilities.
From Thailand, a really great anti-smoking campaign.
Calling all science, research, health, infectious disease, and epidemiology geeks:
Help me conduct off-season influenza surveillance this summer by joining Flu Near You.
Why are we looking for flu when flu season is over in the Northern Hemisphere? Two reasons.
- Influenza Pandemics can, and often do, start in the spring and summer. (Remember H1N1?!? The pandemic started in April!)
- In science, a negative result is just as important as a positive result.
PS: That’s ME in the picture, looking my flu-ey best!
Oh, this is right up my alley.
