"As I’ve been reflecting on medical school... three sections emerge. The Pause has been about rediscovering unstructured time. The Spark has been rekindling the love for science... And The Next Chapter is for planning what comes next, and boy, is there a lot."

I love seeing how we can work WITH microbes instead of just trying to destroy them!

[Virginia Cox, MD @VirginiaC_IMG]

Immediately paused studying to read a fascinating article in @NautilusMag : “These Bacteria Beat Cancer by Eating Cancer.” UWaterloo researchers are engineering bacteria to, yes, eat cancer but the trick is not letting them outgrow the tumor microenvironment #bacteria #cancer

It was great meeting so many LF1 students and getting to talk about research! Our focus is helping pre-clinical medical students learn core skills, like science literacy and critical thinking, so they can continue on as the next gen. of medical innovators

Just finished Hygiene and Epidemiology where we focused on NOVA4 Ultraprocessed foods - the US is used as the textbook example of an unhealthy diet, but as a healthcare community we can work towards change!

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

Ultraprocessed foods make up much of the US diet.

And @American_Heart says the cardiometabolic harms may extend past their caloric and nutritional content.

When my fiancé and I started medical school 5 years ago we made a blog so our families and friends could follow along with our new adventure abroad! As we start our last year it has been great to reflect back on all we have experienced #LF1Strong
