Research about social network sites
Very interestingly as soon as I started this blog I had a student coming to me to help him with research on social netwroking sites. He seemed to be concerned that blogging and usage of these sites are causing more harm to youngsters than benefit. Well, it was a new thought to me. We have drawn up a project and I am awaiting his findings. He is a social science student. If any of you who read this has a comment please post them.

Hello
Hello Everyone,
I am Dr. Marina Rajan Joseph, Associate professor of Community Medicine and Epidemiologist at the MOSC Medical College, Kolenchery, India. I have been in the field of Epidemiology and Teaching for the past 13 years. I am closely associated with the Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) in India.
My work with the community has multiple dimensions like general health promotion and awareness, medical insurance, micro-credit for community development, counseling, transactional analasis etc.
Epidemiology being the logical basis for all medical practice, has always fascinated me. I believe every undergraduate student should be thorough with the basics of theory and practice of epidemiology during the course of undergraduate medical studies.
To realise my passion, I have written a book titled "Epidemiology for undergraduates" published by JP Medical Publishers, New Delhi, India.
This blog titled "epidemiologyforeveryone" or EFE is intended to consolidate and make available for everyone, the epidemiologic studies and findings of my undergraduate students at the MOSC Medical College, Kolenchery.
I hope this will inspire an interest in epidemiology and statistical methods for scientific research among the medical undergraduate student community in Kerala, and be the platform for greater things in the future.
Wishing sincerely for your cooperation and support through your comments and feedbacks,
Marina
