Description
Greetings to all my friends and colleagues, from a very green Edinburgh in mid-winter. As I complete my first six months in this new position, it is helpful to reflect on what is both different and the same about my work here to reduce health disparities and improve the public's health, as compared to in Canada, where I have spent most of the past quarter century as an epidemiologist. Scotland is a vibrant place, politically speaking. It has an ancient culture of independence, but its parliament was only devolved a decade ago from the United Kingdom's centuries-old rule. My position here is jointly funded by the U.K. Medical Research Council and the Scottish Chief Scientist Office, a branch of the devolved Scottish government responsible for funding health research. Both organizations decided in 2006 that they would recruit, via an international competitive search, someone to bring together applied public health researchers from across the country, and decision-makers from the policy, program, and practice world, to develop and test novel public health interventions for equitable health improvement. I was fortunate to be selected for this post in mid2007, and moved here with my family in July of 2008.
