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????

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.” -Kurt Vonnegut

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.

Being in Italy has somehow reactivated my ancestral Italian-speaking genes and I’m more fluent than I have been since I left Italy as a toddler (it was my first language). I always spoke dialect at home, but the proper Italian would often escape me.

This one is extra special because I got to co-lead it with a dear friend @cgiovino. Grad schools full of ups and downs, but these moments and friendships make it feel worth it 🥺💖

New stage of thesising unlocked: I am so done with writing that I’ve resorted to using the dictation feature on Word to spill my half-formed thoughts onto the page, and then come back to it in the morning when my mind is less jumbled.

I find it’s quite effective bc I think one of the hardest parts of writing is overthinking and trying to be overly-articulate as you try and get a thought out onto a page, but if you just speak your mind, it actually comes out somewhat coherent and just requires tweaking

Tonight's MD/PhD workshop was on the hidden curriculum, with inspiration from the Eureka Program and @jthlam's MD session on this important topic! Thank you to @cgiovino, @bryanagascon, and @alex_dhaliwal for running this awesome session for your community of trainees!
