The
Epidemiology Monitor - February
2026
Editor's Note:
Regardless of what Punxsutawny
Phil tells us, summer is on the horizon. That may be hard
to believe for those of us who have lived through freak
snow storms and bitter cold weather in the last 45 days,
but what it really means is that it is time to think about
what summer program you want to
attend this year.
You'll find an overview of all the programs we were able
to locate listed in this month's issue. If you have a
program that was not included in this list, please email
us at
info@epimonitor.net and we will try to profile it in
the next issue.
In
addition to that we have a piece on fluoride, one on
communications and its impact on vaccine decisions, and
one on finding the right public health practicum for your
specific situation. A last minute addition is a piece
about open dialogue and how two respected professionals
handled a discussion last summer and walked away having
learned from each other and understanding how much of what
they were experiencing was similar regardless of how
different their views were on the issue in question.
FREE BOOKS
A few years ago, our founder was downsizing and didn't
want to throw away a library that represented decades of
accumulation. To avoid that, we listed them in the hopes
that there were others who could use them. The response
was overwhelming. This month we have another multi-decade
collection listed - all the donor has requested is that
the recipient pay a minimal shipping and handling fee for
each book. Do you have an over stuffed bookshelf? Let us
know and we'll try to help you place those tomes with
someone who could use them.
We are
starting to hear from many of you with articles that you'd
like us to consider publishing. We are always interested
in your offerings and are finding your peers are really
enjoying them. Please also consider nominating people for
our profile series, writing a review of a book, or letting
us know about individuals whose accomplishment should be
added to our monthly Notes on People feature.
As always,
we continue to provide you with our popular monthly word
game feature, Notes on People, an overview of what we are
reading from the public media, and a listing of near term
upcoming events. Ask us about the sponsorship
opportunities for these standard monthly features - it
offers you great exposure for your event, institution,
book or other item of interest to our readers!
Until next
month - stay safe and busy!
