What We're Reading - December 2025
 


Editor's Note:  All of us are confronted with more material than we can possibly hope to digest  each month.  However, that doesn't mean that we should miss some of the articles that appear in the public media on topics of interest to the epi community.  Moving forward, the EpiMonitor will curate a list of some of the best articles we've encountered in the past month.  See something you think others would like to read?  Please send us a link at info@epimonitor.net and we'll add it to the list.
