As an Epidemiologist, you know that analyzing data and information is key to your research. If you are a numbers person this is your question! Tell the interviewer the steps on analyzing data and how it has been important in your findings. Tell the interviewer how you have gone to get lengths to collect this data and analyze it.

I would consider it as my strength. I like using data storytelling, I think it helps me to effectively communicate insights from a dataset using narratives and visualizations.
Marcie's Feedback
Awesome! Clearly, being able to analyze and present data is helpful to an epidemiologist. Can you explain why? Then support your comments by giving an example of a time when you effectively communicated insights from a dataset. Use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result). Good job!
