Analysis and trends in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, for the state of Kansas

Kansas COVID-19 Updates

Welcome to Kansas COVID-19 Updates by me, Amber Schmidtke, PhD. Medical educator and science communicator. For those who are new to my work, my bio is provided below. You can read my work for Georgia here.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Amber Schmidtke recognized there was a large gap between the way that scientists communicate and how non-scientists receive information. She has combined her roles as a public health microbiologist and college educator to provide meaningful analysis and explanation of disease trends to the public through a popular newsletter and podcast. As a result of these communication efforts she was invited to serve as a member of the Georgia COVID-19 Data State Task Force, advising government agencies on how to package their complex data to meet the needs of the public. In addition, she is a trusted resource for multiple local governments and news media outlets. Dr. Schmidtke holds a Ph.D. in medical microbiology and immunology from Creighton University. 

Now that I have relocated to the Midwest, I am adding the state of Kansas to my analysis. Kansas COVID-19 Updates is a free newsletter that depends on reader support.
