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!
