Epidemiology is HOT right now, but for those of you who think epidemiologists are all science and no fun, well… A Princess in Theory demonstrates that we can be romance novel protagonists too. Started reading it today, so my live thoughts follow. #epitwitter #AcademicChatter

To anyone who picks this up ( @arielbeccia, I’m looking at you), feel free to join in. Wine and snacks are encouraged. Given that this is tangentially epi-related, you can even count it as work… perhaps this can morph into an informal #epibookclub

Chapter 1: it all begins with what appears to be a spam email. My first thought - should I start searching for dates in my spam folder? (Note: I'm about to get sidetracked)

Ah, here’s a promising spam email candidate. #epitwitter, meet Bachelor #1, Daniel.

What do we know about Daniel?

1) He calls me Dr. I'm not quite there yet, but hey, gives me something to aspire to
2) He’s considerate of my time

Daniel, if you see this, my DMs are open!

Back to the book: you know this is going to get good when our protagonist, Ledi, whips out her copy of Modern Epidemiology.

I feel attacked.
