This is a more difficult one, but I want to know more about/start to collect data on miscarriage in WA in order to better understand how often this happens and look at potential contributing factors.
Additionally, I would like to know more about/start to collect data on PCOS and Endometriosis (or endo like symptoms) in WA.

Software that can help with organizing tasks and time management. Currently I use Outlook and a hand written to do list but am curious if there is a better way of staying organized. Epidemiology is not a one dimensional role that is for sure.

My local health department recently began collecting wastewater samples to monitor not only Covid-19 levels but also Influenza, RSV, Norovirus, etc. I'm currently really interested in best practice for analyzing wastewater data as well as how to best present this data to the public/local practitioners in a digestible and meaningful way. Although the technology is not new, the large scale analyses and uses are and it's been interesting to see how various locations are reporting out their data. Being that my LHJ is small and rural, I am also interesting in learning more about fitting a model to this data in order to do some projections. Lots of advantages and disadvantages to various model types.

My local health department (GA) has started seeing an uptick in parapertussis cases! I've been wanting to explore what other states have been doing in regards to surveillance increases/collection in general.

Hi Gabe,
We are also monitoring an increase in Florida. We are currently reviewing out syndromic surveillance data to better describe the trend.

I am interested in disease forecasting and developing community qualitative engagement. I think this would be very useful to my future work if I could develop more in these areas.
Additionally, I would like to know more about/start to collect data on PCOS and Endometriosis (or endo like symptoms) in WA.
