"That's an excellent suggestion, Miss Triggs. Perhaps one of the men here would like to make it." On #InternationalWomensDay let's not forget that Riana Duncan's cartoon published over 30 years ago in PUNCH 1988 can be just as relevant today! #women #workplace #WomensDay #classic

The research team for this exciting research initiative includes our Medical Director, Kenneth Lee, MD, and our Associate Medical Director, Alejandra Lastra, MD!
This is “The Human Engine.” A @UChicagoMed research initiative we’re proud to be a part of 🔬 UChicago Medicine’s physicians and researchers are studying the men and women behind the machine of our team – understanding how they sleep, recover and perform. Because what is discovered here can improve human performance at every level 💪 Follow along using the link in bio 🔗 #HaasF1 #F1
