Your Local Epidemiologist

Your Local Epidemiologist comes from Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, who translates public health data into plain language people can actually use. It started during COVID as a jargon-free way to make sense of case counts and vaccine data, and has since widened out to cover infectious disease and public health policy generally.

What makes it different is a willingness to say where the evidence is solid and where it isn't, instead of faking certainty either way. When a new variant or study makes headlines, this is where you go to find out what it actually means for you, from someone trained to read the data underneath the story.
