I used to scroll on Instagram before going to sleep. Now, I scroll through the most recent patient test results… #medicine #surgery

Not able to produce “favorable results” in the lab? You are a “loser”. Stay in the shadows of those who can bring cool data to the Big Prof. Sounds familiar? It's not only about this case at Stanford. It's about academic culture in general: - Keep pushing for metrics.

Professors should not serve as punchbags for the university admins. A story from this article: - Tolu Odumosu submitted for tenure after 5 years at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville). His application was highly supported by the department, but the school rejected it.

My Bank of America charged me a fee cuz I don’t have $1500. I’m a graduating medical student & I have to front all moving costs to go to residency. ACGME providing relocation expenses should be mandatory!! #medicine

I’m too old to be a student, according to Bank of America, so they’re charging me monthly maintenance fees while I’m already at the poorest point of my life. No one should ever be too old to pursue further education!!! #changeyourpolicy

Bad idea to continue experiments and troubleshoot new protocols less than 3 weeks from graduating, while also packing for the move and attempting to close on a new home mortgage and onboarding for residency. 💩 has been hitting the 🪭 over & over again. 😭 #academia #research

When I first moved out of the college dorms, I slept on an air mattress for 6 months. That mattress had been in our family for ~20yrs. It finally started leaking when I moved to med school. Movers came today. I’m on a new air mattress... the old one was comfier. 😔
