Why do you study injury?

My interest in injury research began when I was working for a prosecuting attorney processing paperwork for domestic violence cases and DUI charges. It opened my eyes to how widespread these sources of injury are. Injury captures such a broad range of causes, intents, and at-risk populations that there is always something new to explore. Injury is frequently on all of our minds as it tends to be in the news, which is especially true as someone working in firearms. It is really rewarding to participate in research that is meaningful and contributes to a conversation that’s happening on such a big stage.

What surprises you about injury research?

There are so many facets of injury research that affect so many different populations. What really surprises me about injury research is talking to other people working in epidemiology and hearing about their diverse projects – some that I wouldn’t have typically associated with injury epi. It’s also interesting how each subset of injury seems to have a controversy of its own. Most of my injury work thus far has been related to firearms and it’s a big conversation in politics today, but it’s interesting to hear from other epidemiologists that they’re fighting their own political battles over interventions like helmet laws.

When I was a kid, I wanted to become:

I really wanted to be a detective like Encylopedia Brown or Nancy Drew! Sometimes I like to think of epidemiology as mystery solving, albeit in a world with fewer secret passages.
