You know what makes me angry?
When I admit a patient with metastatic cancer who’s unlikely to survive… and if that patient had been able to access a family doctor and simple routine screening tests they would have been most likely cured months ago. Now it’s too late.
This happens far too often. Not being able to access care sooner is absolutely killing people. It happens over and over again. It’s pretty pathetic for the billions of dollars we spend on healthcare.

@PhDVoice@PostdocVoice OMG, it’s tough. It will be tough. Remember the 20-80 rule that 20% of planning leads to 80% of effects. Make your plan briefly, that 20%, then put words on the paper. Trust yourself. Really. Your committee wants you to do well. And, you’ve totally got this.
@Dr_KatieG1 Teaching students how to skim read papers is an essential skill. Abstract, Intro, Conclusion, identify aims, objectives, novelty, and one or two essential figures. Creating such building blocks for their own writing, will enable them to assemble bare bones of a paper or report.

I'm running on May 28th to raise funds in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Cancer is a beast and has affected too many people. Thankfully, research has helped up to 60% of people survive. Please join me in support of this cause!
