Still reeling from successfully defending my PhD work yesterday! It feels surreal that this chapter of my MD-PhD training is coming to an end. I am eternally grateful to @DavidMalkin1 and Ran Kafri for supervising me through not one, but two grad degrees.

"To be robbed of your sexuality through a chemical process, with absolutely no warning, and no way to consent, it's very traumatizing."

On @GlobalBC, Emily Grey and Yassie Pirani from @PSSDCanada discuss the devastating impact of living with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD).

My lab became my second family and I have made wonderful, lifelong friendships with these wonderful people. I feel so, so lucky. The lab felt like my second home thanks to them.

It was great to have this powerhouse committee yesterday for my defense including the co-discoverer of p53, discoverer of p53 in C. elegans, and discoverer of mutation in TP53 as the underlying genetic cause of LFS. So lucky and grateful 😊

Is it endearing that I'll be getting my PhD before my driver's license, y/n????

[camilla giovino @cgiovino]

Cheesy, but so true. I’m already aching a little just from the thought of how dearly I’m going to miss my lab mates/friends.

Looking back at the memories made throughout my PhD and deeply feeling just how true this is: “Enjoy the little things in life because one day you`ll look back and realize they were the big things.”
