Has anyone had luck finding an epidemiology expert for a covid claim? Defense side. Desperate times, desperate times ... no luck with any major search engines.

Try the mold people. They’re “air quality” experts. The better ones have engineering degrees and do a lot of HVAC work

What kind of COVID claims?

Has enough time passed in history for that expertise to be a thing?

Look for people with a Master’s in Public Health (and ideally a PhD of some kind). Searching for “epidemiologists” doesn’t turn up a lot of results but many public health people have spent their lives researching infectious disease and are even working on developing Covid protocols/treatments/vaccines

Do you find that consulting is a good fit for ADHD? You get a bench, lots of chances to improve your work style and learn what you're good at.

Wanted to get an idea. My almost 10 month old baby never crawled not matter how much tummy time we did with her. She only wants to stand and is trying to walk (supported.

We do exercises to help her learn to pull herself up and roll her to the side to teach her how to move from back to sitting. I'm not sure how to help her. Ftm here. Anxiety!!!

If you work at a small agency in NYC, could you tell me what your monthly health insurance premiums are for families?

When OC is rude/aggressive/uncivil in an email (and the behavior is unprovoked), what’s the best way to respond? I usually ignore it and respond normally, but I won’t allow older attorneys to think that, just because I’m a young lawyer, they’re going to walk all over me. I’m still a lawyer with the same degree and younger lawyers know A LOT of stuff that many experienced attorneys do not (technology, doc management systems, how to edit and mark docs without cutting down the Amazon etc.)

I try to ask them to revise when I can, but we often don’t have time for more rounds of that. How can I handle this better?

All overruled. OC's latest brief in opposition to our motion to compel is a 13-page, babbling, word-salad mess with 126 pages of exhibits. It does not address our arguments and any 1L could have written a better brief. Judge should punish her!
