It's always heartwarming to reunite with former students and hear about their career journeys. These moments never fail to bring a smile and make me proud.

"[T]o fellow #PhD students who may be feeling overwhelmed by the plethora of opportunities and demands, remember the power of sitting still. Creating space for yourself isn’t a sign of falling behind; it’s a way to focus on what truly matters to you." https://t.co/EEQpQ1ycuX #ScienceWorkingLife

After 7 days of protests, the governing board finally dismissed Dr. Ríos of her position and an interim rector was named temporarily. Having met the claims of the strike, the students ended it.

[Alexdiel Figueroa @alexdiel_fig]

Many theories of why this happened have arisen, but many are based on alleged connections of Dr. Ríos with one of the most popular (and corrupt) political parties in Puerto Rico, the New Progressive Party (PNP in spanish for short).

The most important step toward robust mental & physical health is when we realize that no single protocol, program supplement or Rx* is alone going to solve it & we instead initiate a series of *daily actions toward persistent wellbeing*. Those actions are (& always will be): 1) sleep, 2) viewing sunlight (even through clouds), 3) movement (cardio & resistance & mobility training; not necessarily all on the same day), 4) quality nutrition (content, amount timing), 5) social connection, including connection to self.

From there, the list expands, of course, based on individual needs, preferences, disposable income, etc. but the above 5 form a robust and reliable foundation.

*some people require Rx medication support of course. That does not erase the need for the basic 5 behaviors.

Finishing my first week as a PhD student and I'm still trying to internalize that I'm here

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

The only thing we can truly control is where we place our attention and where we place our effort. Choose wisely.

Something I discovered about myself in the last few months: I love public speaking, and I will definitely work to develop public speaking skills. Any advice on where should I start?

I'm excited to share that I will start my Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences here in Puerto Rico. I'm so happy to realize that up to this point, I'm accomplishing my goals from my homeland. All I ever wanted.
