This isn't just about my culture, either. It's about all of the beautiful slices of who we all our that broadens life lenses and builds cultural humility. And all of that is essential to excellent patient care.
And excellent everything else.
Sigh.

with biomedical PhD apps due soon, I get a lot of requests for help/advice this time of year. From my own experiences and including others' resources, I made this guide that I use to lead workshops, but also stands alone as a resource. Please share!

Recently, I felt dismissed due to my name. I was meant to be introduced together w a group of other scientists but when the person got to my name said "I can't pronounce that" and moved on introducing everyone else. I felt erased. Please, DON'T preach #Inclusion and then do that.
