You know. Just trying to become like.. a doctor. No biggie.

If you ever forget why you’re still studying at 2am..

Remember it’s not just a matter of grades.

Maybe you’re studying so you can correctly diagnose those patients before they’re told it’s too late.

Maybe you’re memorizing the mistakes of history in the hope of never seeing them repeated.

Maybe you’re understanding how the law works so you can defend those who need it. 

Maybe you’re absorbing as much information as you can so you can pass on your love of learning to others.

What you’re doing today can change our world tomorrow, so keep at it.

I hated my floors, so I changed them. I’m renting an old and very outdated apartment currently. So I decided to spruce some things up!

my professor spent our entire seminar whining about how there’s too many girls in our group and not enough boys. he was like “i’m not saying women can’t be good surgeons but we need more men” no, we don’t. men suck. deal with it.

If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.

Medical school is not a place for smart people. It’s a place for those who are insane enough to dream of it, pray for it, work hard for it, and live for it. It is for those who are crazy enough to want the sense of purpose that fuels their veins. And, if it is insanity, then let it be, for even if it means more sleepless nights, more examinations to pass, more years in the university and more sacrifices to endure, nothing will change. I will keep on choosing this path over and over again even for a hundred more days and a thousand more years. And nothing in this world can stop me from taking an adventure as worth taking as this, even for a million more lifetimes. Medicine is passion. Medicine is hard work. Medicine is life.

So I decided the best way to keep me focused is to actually make notes I love to look at. The journey starts now

"Ben Barres was a role model for role models."

Mod note: Some of you may wonder why a trans man is on a blog for women in science. My motivation (as a cis woman) is that he was proudly and openly trans, which is a rarity in science. I am sure his story has brought hope to trans people in and out of science (he transitioned at 43!), and to others typically underrepresented. Furthermore, he had spoken at length about his pre-transition life as a woman in science, and how differently fellow scientists treated him as a man. His death is a loss to scientific research and to our efforts to make science more accessible to all.

(Please feel free to message me if you have any concerns with how I phrased the above.)
