💡WOW—3rd/4th grade ‘Science Olympiad’ on “Disease Detectives” requires kids to: “📊Calculate disease risk & frequencies as a ratio, proportion, incidence proportion (attack rate), incidence rate, prevalence rate, mortality rate”! ➡️Who here did epidemiology as a 8-10 year old?! 
2) Like seriously - who among you can even do that epidemiology now, not to mention in 3rd or 4th grade elementary school?!
P.s. most MDs can’t even do these epidemiology calculations well.

3) To be fair, I didn’t decide to pursue epidemiology until I majored in @JohnsHopkinsPHS at @JohnsHopkins. But I did have a NEJM subscription starting in middle school. But 3rd/4th grade learning intro epidemiology 101 is hardcore.
4) Science Olympiad website - there’s state level Science Olympiad as well as a national competition for older kids. soinc.org
