I'm very excited to start this new chapter of my life as a PhD Candidate in #DisasterMedicine at
@CRIMEDIM
Simulation and training of the prehospital response to MCIs are vital components of disaster preparedness. Digital tools can enhance student learning and experience.

Today, for the #PhDOverview campaign, we have our PhD Candidate José García Ulerio, studying the impact of digital tools on Mass Casualty Incident Simulation and Training.

"Boredom is a filter. Common ideas come before it. Uncommon ideas come after it. Sit with a project long enough to get bored with it, then sit a little more. The most useful insights bubble up after you get bored."

1. It's unlikely you will stumble into the optimal way of doing something on your first attempt. Presumably being curious about how something works or what other paths are possible increases your likelihood of finding a more efficient way to do something.

2. Nobody likes doing something that feels like a hassle, but people will spend lots of time doing things they find interesting or engaging (even when they aren't asked to work on it). Presumably, if you are curious about a given area, you are more likely to find it interesting and thus more likely to invest time into the project.

3. For large, difficult projects it is inevitable that you will run into roadblocks or obstacles. The person who already viewed the task as a chore seems more likely to give up in these moments. Curiosity is not the same thing as persistence, but they often go hand-in-hand. The curious and interested person—the person who finds a particular thing generally fun to do or engaging to think about—seems less likely to give up quickly compared to someone who is fairly bored by the task to begin with.

4. You're not saying this, but it's worth clarifying that it's unlikely there is any single variable that accounts for your ability to "get something done." It's a mixture of curiosity, persistence, a willingness to take action, and probably a bunch of other things in various doses. You don't always need every ingredient (I think we have all had the experience of powering through a task we were not curious about), but the question was whether curiosity helps get something done and—although it does not do the job on its own—to the degree that it helps you find a better way to do the thing and keeps you working when you face obstacles, I think it definitely helps.

5. Finally, it might be fair to say that while curiosity alone will never guarantee success, a lack of curiosity (e.g. some level of genuine interest in the thing) is usually enough to prevent success from happening.

What happens if you don't take action?

Nothing.

In an era of rapidly evolving technology, we need to decouple *jobs* from *identity.*

Instead of asking kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, ask them what problems they want to solve, what skills they hope to learn and what creative ways they hope to change the world.

Don't get comfortable. Take risks. Change. Try learning about a field you don't know anything about. Or stepping into a viewpoint you've never considered.

Exercise reduces depression and anxiety.

Over 1,000 randomized controlled trials: physical activity boosts emotional well-being for people with & without clinical symptoms.

It's not a panacea or a substitute for other treatments, but physical fitness is good for mental fitness.

• Study hard.
• What others think of you is none of your business.
• It's OK not to have all the answers.
• Experiment, Fail, Learn and Repeat.
• Knowledge comes from experience.
• Imagination is important.
• Do what interests you the most.
• Stay curious
