Started reading The Death of Cancer in earnest since my exams are done. Great so far, might have to get a copy and add to the shelf
Picked up an early Hanukkah present for myself from the library after a rec by one of my mentors, looking forward to reading it!

If anyone's interested in a pair of tickets for the #isles game against the Canucks on 12/19, let me know. Two buddies cancelled, but since tickets were bought with student discount, I can't resell on ticket master. I'd rather they go to a fan than go to waste!

"For each measure of adolescent cognitive performance, students performed better if they were exposed to sufficient levels of fluoride—either throughout childhood, or during part of childhood"
Doesn't seem very much like a neurotoxin at supplement levels!

Been way too busy with classes and tutoring, but trying to make some time to read again. Checked out A Memory Called Empire the other day and I'm glad I did. Off to a great start so far

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Back to watching the isles (think it's safe to say their loss last game broke my curse) and what a rollercoaster of an opening minute and a half

Founding dean of my school came for a brief talk today and, while explaining how he got into medicine to avoid being sent to Vietnam, casually dropped that he was part of the team that discovered cisplatin. Med school has some crazy stories

0-3 when I watch and 2-0 when I don't, I think I might be the issue here. Guess I have to take one for the team and just watch highlights

There was a presentation today at the @asgct.bsky.social conference about in vivo monocyte reprogramming (for less side effects than CAR-T) via mRNA in IV lipid nanoparticles and, it's very preliminary work, but it's hard not to get excited about this (and all the other incredible projects)
