Learn to round on yourself
I always think of the beginning of July as the New Year in medicine. It’s when medical students become interns, interns become residents, and residents become newly minted attendings. With each change is an increase in responsibility. I remember paying even more attention to the history and physical each time I crossed that threshold. With

What makes up the ideal residency program for you?
As we continue through the summer months, medical students are putting the finishing touches on their elective rotations for their fourth year. These rotations, also known as audition rotations or sub-internships, enable students to “showcase” their talents, meet faculty and residents and put their best foot forward prior to submitting their electronic application. A 2016

What no one tells you about being a new doctor
We’ve all heard the tired cliché about July being the most dangerous time of the year to go to a hospital. All new interns — freshly minted doctors straight out of medical school — are on the loose. And you better watch out, the tale goes. That’s demonstrably false, and July is as safe as

Racial biases shape the way people interpret body poses
By Emma Young
People reliably interpret expansive poses — with the arms and legs spread and the head held high — as a signal of dominance, or power. But work to date on perceptions of body poses has focused on White targets, note the authors of a new paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Attitudes and Social Cognition. As research shows that Black people are often stereotyped as aggressive, hostile and threatening, might an expansive pose lead others to perceive them as being more aggressive than a White person holding their body in exactly the same way?

Internship and NEETPG- Ways to excel
The feeling of wrapping a stethoscope around your neck, being referred to as a doctor rather than a medical student is indeed unreal. It is, after all, the manifestation of your dreams which was built around your hard work and perseverance. The happiness that comes along with the title is fulfilling to say the least. But at the same time the uncertainty of what follows this benchmark will itch your mind. Up until now the spectrum of possibilities and goals were narrow and students always had some test or the other to prepare for, except it was systematic and somewhat universal. Now the spectrum has widened. There are a lot...

State of the lab 9 - an informal report on the 9 years of EMBL-EBI
This blog post is part of ayearly series (or close to yearly) on running a research lab in academia. 2021 was the last of 9 years as a group leader at EMBL-EBI, which is the standard time given to group leaders to establish and run their labs at EMBL. For this year's blog post I thought it was a good time to look back at the full 9 years and I am going to (briefly) cover the time at EMBL with some numbers including giving an approximate account of the finances. This is something that I do with the group at the start of every year but it still feels strange to make financial numbers public. The scientistsA lot has happ...

Navajo Students Engage With Public Health Research Through NARCH
Navajo students are contributing to public health efforts in diabetes, COVID-19, domestic violence, and maternal and child health through the Navajo Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH) Partnership. “Our goal is to really enhance the educational pathways available to Navajo students from high school to graduate school and beyond,” says Mark Bauer, Ph.D., a co-director of the Navajo NARCH Partnership and professor at Diné College—a tribal college on the Navajo Nation. (Diné means “the people” and is how Navajo people refer to themselves in their native language.)
