Environmental Health Sciences

The research guide for Environmental Health Sciences provides detailed lists of information sources to help answer your research questions. In addition, please contact me for assistance any time that you're using library resources.  I can:

• Help with your literature search or provide advice about your research topic
• Give you tips for finding questionnaires or other study elements
• Teach you advanced techniques for database searching
• Orient you to the library resources available through UM
• Teach you about citation management tools (EndNote, Mendeley, etc.) that can save you time creating citations & bibliographies

BEAM Dashboard

The BEAM (Bacteria, Enterics, Amoeba, and Mycotics) Dashboard is an interactive tool to access and visualize data from the System for Enteric Disease Response, Investigation, and Coordination (SEDRIC). The BEAM Dashboard provides timely data on pathogen trends and serotype details to inform work to prevent illnesses from food and animal contact. Currently, the dashboard focuses on data for Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), Shigella and Campylobacter bacteria and multistate outbreaks, but it will eventually include additional pathogens, antimicrobial resistance data, and epidemiologic data from outbreak investigations.
