It sparked…

Wendy Nembhard SER President’s Message June 2026 I began writing this, my final President’s Corner article, several times—drafting, revising, and starting over more than I can count. I would write a few lines, delete them, and start again. I probably did that five or six times. There is so much I want to say, and yet finding the right words has not been easy. So here it is—maybe not perfect, but …

It’s almost here—I can hardly wait! Our mid-year meeting is just around the corner, February 9-13, 2026 (cue the confetti, balloons, and streamers ). We’ll kick things off with an exciting keynote plenary on space epidemiology—not spatial epidemiology, but SPACE epidemiology. To infinity and beyond! (Yes, it’s a real field.) The keynote will feature epidemiologists from NASA who study spaceflight…

What sparked your decision to become an epidemiologist?  It really came down to one class in undergrad and my interest in getting an MPH. As a BSPH student at UNC, I was able to take some master’s-level courses at Gillings. One of them was a graduate-level epi course I took as part of my nutrition curriculum—and I loved it. Data analysis felt much more natural to me than working in the lab. I had…
