#Inflammation plays a substantial role in the formation & progression of atherosclerotic plaque leading to #heartdisease. The EKSTROM trial data shows low-dose colchicine could significantly reduce total plaque volume after 1 year:

Unmatched before 2024: "Your scores missed the mark"

Unmatched in 2024: "Other candidates did a better job 'selling' themselves"

Match 2024:

⇈ # of candidates went up
and... scores mattered less

This means you'll lose out on opportunities
↪ Not because of scores or you're lacking experience
↪↪ But because another candidate did a better job presenting theirs

Sometimes, just by a hair.

So, how do you bypass this?

In my opinion:

- Build connections
- Narrow down your search
- Focus on speciality specific programs
- Refine your interview skills by practicing early
- Take Step III if you haven't, ⇈ USCE, and publish
- Rebrand your CV and PS narratives (this is a big one!)

Instead of letting 'Imposter Syndrome' creep in

Adapt your approach and try again.

*It's hard to beat a candidate that doesn't give up.*

1. As a PI who LOVES to give advice I think the question that I get asked the most is one the goes something like “how do I choose & apply for a postdoc”. I have a set answer & I have seen parts of it many times on twitter, but I wanted to write a thread that collates my thoughts
