Epidemiology highlighted in TIME magazine

This is pretty cool. In the "Innovators" section of this week's Time, several different epidemiologists are profiled--you can read it free through this Sunday. They are:

1. Michael Sadowsky, who has combined good, old-fashioned leg work with robotics to track various strains of E. coli in soil and water.

2. Suneeta Krishan, who is investigating the link between sexism and AIDS in India.

3. Jane Buxton, who is trying to create an evidence-based program for treating drug addicts in Vancouver.

4. Gregory Schultz, who is using his research into wound healing to develop microbicidal bandages.

Fantastic!
Mike Sadowsky was on my committee. He is a tremendous guy. He's a soil guy, I didn't know he had gotten into this.

I know a current grad student of his at U of M (friend of a friend deal) who's done some of the leg work on that project. Fascinating stuff.
