Michael Levy, PhD, argues that a last-minute amendment weakens Philadelphia’s plan to stop being the nation's No.1 most bedbug infested city.

That is why this department has put forward a bold vision in population-health science: a single academic home for biostatistics, epidemiology and informatics.
