I’m pursuing my PhD in epidemiology and this podcast helped me pass my comprehensive exam! Thank you Matt and Hailey!
I loved every single episode and I will listen these all episodes at least thrice in future. Please keep posting and more frequently.
I absolutely love this podcast. Great hosts, great guests, and great topics. I am a physician epidemiologist with a PhD in epidemiology and a Master’s in biostatistics. Even with my deep background in epidemiologic methods, I learn a ton from each episode. Thanks Matt and Hailey for creating, hosting, and stewarding this fantastic podcast!
I love this one- the subject matter is great and presented so well by the hosts. I love the way they often step through their own understanding of particular issues or concepts- really brings home the ‘it depends’ aspect of epidemiology. Loving the focus on modern epi this season too- thank you Matt and Hailey!
This has been a highly informative podcast for me to listen to as a Masters of Public Health student soon to start their PhD! I love the recent focus on Modern Epidemiology (4th Edition), especially as I was recommended to get this textbook very recently. Synchronicity.
