About
(Follow me on Twitter: @brettkeller)
Welcome to my blog on public health and development. I’m a grad student in public health and public policy, currently based in Princeton, NJ. I’m enrolled in two grad programs, aiming to finish both in May 2013:
- MSPH in Global Disease Epidemiology and Control through the Department of International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
- MPA in Economics and Public Policy through Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
I write about things I find interesting: global health news and policy, economic development, statistical and methodological developments and controversies, and bad science writing. I also blog less occasionally about high power rocketry at 3FNC.com (“three fins and a nose cone”).
I grew up and went to college in Searcy, Arkansas, where I studied molecular biology and political science at Harding University, a conservative religious school from which I inexplicably emerged liberal and non-religious. Since then I’ve lived in DC, Baltimore, and NYC; for the moment I’m based in Princeton, NJ. I’ve worked at a consulting firm that helps nonprofits with online advocacy and fundraising, on a couple of projects with Hopkins professors, and for a summer with the NYC Dept of Health (in their Epi Scholars program) researching lead poisoning. I’ve traveled and/or volunteered in 30+ countries.

COMMENT GUIDELINES:
-
Blog comments can be some of the most interesting things to read on the internet, or some of the most mind-bogglingly frustrating. To bend the curve closer to the former I reserve the right to express some editorial control by holding for moderation, deleting or blocking comments/commenters who use egregious profanity or are otherwise NSFW, who threaten folks, who haven’t read the Wikipedia page on ad hominem, or who repeatedly troll. Anonymous comments are allowed but it helps if you use a consistent, unique pseudonym to facilitate discussion.
