Katelyn Jetelina, MPH, PhD
EpiMonitor Editor-in-Chief and 
Your Local Epidemiologist Journalist
Named to the Inaugural Time 100 in Health List
 

Author: Staff

Following in the wake of the success of the  original Time 100 list, Time Magazine this year chose to develop a list of the 100 individuals who are the most influential in health today. The result is the TIME100 Health list, which is comprised of a community of leaders from across industries—scientists, doctors, advocates, educators, and policy-makers, among others—dedicated to creating tangible, credible change for a healthier population.

Among the honorees on this list is our own Editor-in-Chief, Katelyn Jetelina, MPH, PhD. Many people are aware of her work creating Your Local Epidemiologist (YLE) during the depths of the COVID-19 crisis. With almost a quarter million subscribers worldwide, YLE has become in her words “a course…about what public health is and is not and how messy and complex it is.” YLE has allowed her to indulge in her primary passion – teaching- and in the case of YLE, teaching a worried public about epidemiology and public health.

Two years ago, Katelyn took over the helm at The Epidemiology Monitor and has stewarded this publication into its 45^th year. Unlike YLE, which is geared to the general public, the EpiMonitor has allowed her to reach out to fellow professionals with important information for the epidemiology, biostatistics, and public health communities. Tens of thousands of professionals read the EpiMonitor monthly for information about public health issues in the news, job openings, events worldwide, and updates on their peers worldwide.

In addition to her publication efforts, Katelyn is also a scientific-communications consultant to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  She is also a frequent speaker at worldwide events including those sponsored by the WHO, IEA,  and others.

Outside of her publication and consulting efforts, today Katelyn is leading an effort to raise funds to help others in the field who are dedicated to communicating information about public health issues to the general public.
