Blog Questions

1.)  My topic is Epidemiology, is the study of the factors that cause or encourage diseases. Some diseases are more common in certain geographic areas, among people with certain genetic or socioeconomic characteristics, or at different times of the year.
2.)  After studying this topic all year I hope to have this topic as a possible career option, that I could go to. I have always been interested on how diseases work and what makes it that they spread so fast, and how genetics play a part in it. Since I was in Pandemics house freshman year diseases have interested me. I learned that you could work for the CDC or WHO to figure out how diseases were started, and who was patient zero, I wanted to work in that field.
