Measles remains a danger to health even years after an infection
The measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico is now close to 300 cases. Most are unvaccinated children. People usually recover, but doctors are stressing how dangerous and long-lasting it can be.

Sometimes I wish I had a simpler job with a much less stress environment. But then I remember how much I love my job & the people in it.
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be asleep between night shifts too, so that's also a problem.

I select by only reviewing for journals that publish named reviews and responses along with paper. Still too rare in #pubichealth. Having received too many lazy, anonymous reviews myself, I think open peer review is one way of improving a poor system.
Okay, I think I just completed my 39th or 40th article reviews of the year. Insane amount of reviewing for journals. I also did 3 tenure reviews. I'm going to be more selective next year.
