It is so important to expose students as early as possible to STEM careers, and give them the tools to become successful in the future.

My advice to the HS students today was “take advantage of these programs, take advantage of mentorship, and learn to develop your soft skills”

@MansaBarrie Thanks bro!

@joyousderrick 34 FT for the heat vs Lakers 17. Lakers should be complaining too

[Edward Sarfo @ed_sarfo]

@garyalsmith About 80% recovery rate. It’d be great if the numbers are true. However, If these numbers are fudged, the virus can’t be fudged so we’ll see sooner or later. But I really hope the numbers are accurate.

First time in a hospital since being pulled from rotations.

I’m anxious and can feel every heartbeat. My mask covers half of my face, but it’s not enough.
Why am I anxious? It’s not the virus. And it’s not the usual feelings of #medstudent inadequacy. This is why #icantbreathe:

@qwobbyclint @lanstyan @moigovgh @konkrumah Determining efficacy means testing if this treatment will produce the desired results as speculated. You can’t just blindly take someone’s word for it. You need to confirm it. That is how the world of medicine works, and the reason why FDA exists.
