I'm an aspiring physician attending the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. I'm also an Elon Musk stunt double (maybe).

Glad I was able to present my work in MR elastography at #EMBC2024!

@ChandaBhandarii @GirgisObaid @tayyaba_hasan @jacopoferruzzi @brekkenlab Congrats Chanda! Extremely good research!

Here is the thalamus of the brain (not to be confused with the hypothalamus!)

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

Got a little caught up on studying (sorry!), but here's the globus pallidus, a part of your brain that coordinates how you move!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

Time for brain structure number 2: the putamen!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

I'll start with my first brain anatomy fact (yes, this is an MRI scan of my brain)

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

In honor of being a quirky med student studying for Step 1, I'm going to post semi-daily random anatomy facts about my brain (maybe I'm being a little productive?)

@ChandaBhandarii @GirgisObaid @Lab_Obaid_UTD Congratulations!!!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

It's amazing to think that I already finished my first year of med school. I'm sad I can't use the excuse "I'm just a first year med student" anymore, though.

@Lab_Obaid_UTD @bme_utd @GirgisObaid Congratulations Austin!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

And today officially marks the beginning of my medical training!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

@Lab_Obaid_UTD Thank you for giving me the invaluable experience of working on multiple research projects, especially during the Green Fellowship! I will miss working with @GirgisObaid and everyone else on the research team!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

A lot has happened in the past month trying to figure out what I'm doing after graduation. And to add to the chaos, I received an acceptance letter to medical school last night! I've always had a dream of becoming a doctor, and now I can say that I AM GOING TO BE A PHYSICIAN!!!

[J.D. Squire @johndsquire]

Proud to be a co-author on my first research paper! https://t.co/XnpWWcaDlH
