@RachelCCpharmD I've honestly found Twitter to be incredibly helpful in keeping abreast of literature, top researchers, and opinions on controversial topics. So I say, social media!

@mmPharmD Learning how and when to say no was one of the most important skills I learned early in my career. I'm still not great at it and it's not in my nature, but I'm much better than I was before. If you're in the same boat, kudos to you! 👏🏼
