They tell you to build your professional network, in part, so when you go up for promotion, you have people to ask and people to invite you to give talks etc. and I agree. But they don’t tell you that later, if you have a big network, you will be the person asked to do things.

Makes sense, but isn't "ology" the study of, so wouldn't the last part be public health action and not epidemiology? Or is that what you were saying?

This may sound like a dumb question but does immortal person time matter with a binary (yes/no) disease outcome?

So what is an applied epidemiologist?

When, in the def of epi, it says study the distribution and determinants of disease “and the application of that knowledge to control of disease.” - does “application” refer to public health action or studying the effects of interventions? Does epi include action or just studying effects of action?

Anyone have a good applied example of use of the target trial framework that prevented a problem that was likely to arise in an observational study not using the framework?
