Ken Rothman, DrPH on ambition, writing, and detainment by the Colombian police - a podcast by Lisa Bodnar

Ken Rothman, DrPH is arguably one of the most influential living epidemiologists. Ken has been in the field for almost 50 years, conducting research, writing, and teaching. He co-authors two of the most used textbooks in epidemiology: Modern Epidemiology and Epidemiology: an Introduction. He is the founding editor of Epidemiology, a leading journal in our field. He talks with me about his ambition, his status as a 'legend' in the field (spoiler alert: he says that is patently false), writing, an award lecture gone awry, sailing, being detained by the Colombian police, "Baby Rothman," and much more!
