Hello, hello! I added you as a friend. I hope that's cool. I saw your username in the running community and it piqued my interest. I'm in the latter parts of getting my own PhD :)

BTW, I recently picked up a book that reminds me of your story. It's called "My Stroke of Insight" by Jill Bolte Taylor. It's about a neuro-researcher documenting her experience with having a stroke.

Awesome! I'm not even in a PhD program yet, so I have major respect for someone who's in the midst of a dual degree program. I will definitely check out that book!

[phdmdandbeyond]

No dual program just yet. I went the hard route and will be doing each of them separately. I was way too immature to dive straight into an MD/PhD program straight out of college. Haha. That wouldn't have been pretty.

[roadtophd]

Thanks! I'll add you back :-)

I just clicked on over here from the runners community and had to say hi when I saw your profile. I was a research coordinator for a psychiatry project for a year or so before starting grad school. Good luck with your apps--I'd be happy to throw some advice your way if you find yourself in need. :)

[roadtophd]

Awesome! What are you studying in grad school? I'm sure I'll be needing plenty of advice in the next few months as I prep my apps!

[elution]

I study behavioral neuroscience. Don't hesitate to ask for advice--I would love to have someone benefit from my mistakes ;)
