Mel's Job

Many of you know that I (Mel) finished up at the school at the end of last school year and started a new position as an Epidemiologist (finally making full use of that Public Health degree)!! I am working at one of the CDC's (i.e. US Center of Disease Control and Prevention) global disease detection units. I am in a sub-unit dealing with hospital acquired infections. This takes me into local hospitals and I work doctors and nurses, mainly infection control teams. The first three months have been fun, but working full time gives me less time to do things like update our blog!
