International Epidemiologist Awarded ASA/AAAS Mass Media Fellowship

摘要

Jess Craig-a recent graduate of The George Washington University's public health graduate program and an epidemiologist who has worked in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East-has been selected as the ASA's 2020 AAAS Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellow. She will spend 10 weeks this summer training as a science journalist with NPR in its Washington, DC, offices.Craig comes to die fellowship with a demonstrable passion for statistics and its applications. She chose a concentration of biostatistics and epidemiology for her master's in public health, in which she used her thesis to explore mathematical modeling for antibiotic use and antimicrobial disease burden in lower-income countries. For her work with the CDC's Global Health Security Agenda and its Center for Global Health, Craig used SAS, R, and Python to develop data visualizations. Most recently, she oversaw research and operations across Africa and the Middle East for The Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics, and Policy-an international nonprofit.
