    Great epi podcast for review - entertaining and educational!
    I’m pursuing my PhD in epidemiology and this podcast helped me pass my comprehensive exam! Thank you Matt and Hailey!

    Great methods resource for students!
    I’m a PhD in Biological Anthropology and MPH in Epidemiology student. Because epi is not my primary field of study and my training is more applied and MPH-level (rather than more research intensive as would be the case in PhD epi courses), this podcast has been a great supplement for digging deeper into epi research methods and causal inference!
