The
Epidemiology Monitor - June
2026
Editor's Note:
This month you'll find we have
published two articles about rules and regulations. The
first speaks
about a new OMB rule
threatening science while the second comes from our
archives and details the 2017-2018 Brussels Declaration.
At the beginning of this issue we have a piece that
speaks to the blind spots in modern epidemiology and
provides fertile ground for discussion among yourselves.
Finally we have a reader submission titled "How
Sensitivity and Specificity Can Be Related to Prevalence".
With the
end of the academic year come celebrations and honors and
this month's Notes on People highlights many of your peers
who have been honored recently along with others who have
accepted new appointments.
BOOKS
This month our resource section is dedicated to a new
publication from Yale professor Michael Bracken titled:
"BIAS! How Systemic Error Threatens Biomedical Research".
Published by Cambridge University Press, this looks like a
wonderful addition to your summer reading list.
Do you have a bookshelf to clear but you absolutely don't
want to toss the books that cost you dearly into the
trash? Let us know and we'll list them for you in the
hopes of finding a home for them. Just email us at
michele@epimonitor.net and we'll talk you through the
logistics of the program.
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!
