Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device or drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that aren't walkable, and inequitable access to healthcare. nyti.ms/3SRkKZS

I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science
Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.

I overheard a pre-med this weekend at #AMEC2022 reflecting on how many dope pre-meds he met…how at home he feels very other, but there are folks in medicine just like him… if they ain’t the perfect summary of why @SNMA is so integral! #AMEC #representationmatters

"Live like a resident for a few years so you can pay off your debt" appears to be a bit of a controversy right now.
I finished college with $0 in debt and about $1,000 in savings. By the end of residency in 2016, my med school loans had grown to $470,000.

It's a warm and fuzzy feeling when interviewers read quotes from letter writers. One of mine wrote "she is one of the most dedicated and hardworking students I have ever met" and my response was "awwww thanks"😊 lol .
