The
Epidemiology Monitor - July
2026
Editor's Note:
This month
you'll find we have turned our attention to topics that
are making the rounds in the media while we all suffer
through the summer doldrums. Cyclospora is the first
topic and in addition to the primary article you'll find
more content on this topic in What We're Reading. We've
also provided a piece on a surprisingly contentious topic
- clock changes. A piece on failures in measuring our
health rounds out our top topics this month.
In
addition to those pieces, we've brought back another AI
related article from our archives and, in light of the
start of the fall recruitment season, you'll find another
piece on formatting your job ad to ensure it gets noticed
and brings in the applicants you want.
We have
received several inquiries about our free program designed
to rehome the excess books in your existing library. Many
individuals faced with a long distance move or retirement
are interested in finding a new home for some or all of
their books to make sure they don't end up in a landfill.
Because we get so many inquiries about this program we
have taken this opportunity to fully outline the
operational details for you.
A year ago we highlighted the fact that CDC was shutting
down support for Epi Info. That program has now been
removed from their website and the existing users are
actively searching for another organization to host it so
it will be available for all interested parties ongoing.
The users have provided us with a profile of the type of
organization that would make an ideal host. Please take a
look and share this with others so this resource will
remain available into the future.
Jobs are
starting to open up again and you'll find many in this
month's issue - including close to 100 public health
positions shared by our friends at Public Health Hiring
Help that range from internships to mid-career positions.
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!
