1.
“Association”
Be sure not to confuse this
Word with “causation” |
|
2.
Preventable deaths-
Epi curves will save the world
If funding follows |
|
3.
What study design
To determine risk factors
For chance to be excluded |
|
4.
Public health heroes
Tirelessly log cases
Each outbreak anew |
| |
5.
Statistician no
Population steward yes
Soul of public health |
|
6.
Germs or miasma
Disease incidence patterns
Will solve the outbreak |
|
7.
Confounded no more
Perhaps association
Reveals causation |
|
8.
Access to data
Like a Y chromosome, you’ve
Got or you don’t |
| |
9.
Disease shed data
Epidemiology
Spreads understanding |
|
10.
Across disciplines
Epidemiologist
Sleuth of diseases |
|
11.
Disease within few
Provides us with the insight
To prevent in more |
|
12.
If it isn’t fun
You know it can’t be epi-
demiology |
| |
13.
With Snow in pursuit
Of pump handle causation
A science is born |
|
14.
Big data is rage
Dud correlation is sin
Enter epi sage |
|
15.
The symphony of
Epidemiology
Brings music to life |
|
16.
It’s foundational
Epidemiology
For public health |
| |
17.
No kisses tonight
Winter period of the flu
Between the lovers |
|
18.
Genies grant wishes
But poor epi researchers
Wish for grants instead |
|
19.
Snow steps into save
City plagued by cholera
Water way to go |
|
20.
John Snow at Broad Street-
Epidemiology
Really at its best |
| |
21.
Propensity score
Trimming tails off, to become
Comparative groups |
|
22.
Death is those we love
Gives pain of understanding
To save many more |
|
23.
Egg salad, stuffed ham
Hot sun, cool shade, eat and play
Outbreak tomorrow |
|
24.
Silent fall
of tears
Wasted grant and squandered youth
P of point o six |
| |
25.
Disease detective
Searching for a cause and cure
Alas, no funding |
