Back in March, the Air Force Research Laboratory - AFRL's Epidemiology Lab went to 24 hour operations to begin testing COVID-19 samples. Since then, the Epi lab has tested 105,000 COVID-19 samples which is around 25% of all U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) cases. Their ability to get test results back quickly keeps our military safe and mission ready. United States Air Force | 88th Air Base Wing

Field epidemiology, also known as shoe-leather epidemiology, focuses on studies initiated in response to urgent public health problems such as disease outbreaks and for which the team does much of its work in the field (i.e., outside the office or laboratory). Field epidemiology combines my love for hiking, humanitarian work, and science! #outbreak #epidemiology #publichealth #hikingPH #mountainsph | Pinoy Scientists
