Hey Wayfaring! So this is kind of random, but what would you say are the top neurological/psychological issues that should be researched/addressed?

1. Causes and prevention of dementia.

2. Gene therapy for treating depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc.

3. What exists in the collective psyche of tumblr premeds that makes them think they can ask homework questions and expect us to not realize that’s what they’re doing.

Do you have any advice for someone who is going to approach a doctor they've been shadowing about publishing a case study with them?

Yes. 

Step 1: Approach said doctor (in person, via telephone, or email. Preferably in person with baked goods)

Step 2: Tell them they’re awesome

Step 3: Just straight up ask them. Offer to do the majority of the work. Or maybe even bring a draft of the case study that you’ve already worked on. 

Step 4: Write that paper.
