At the end of my presentations I usually try to add #Spanish . I’ve had positive & negative feedback on it. Yet to me it’s important not only because it’s part of who I am, but because it reminds others that we as researchers come from different backgrounds. #RepresentationMatters

As a medical student in #PuertoRico , I often find myself having to educate colleagues in the mainland that all 4 Med schools in PR are LCME accredited and we go through the same licensing process as others in the mainland. We just also learn how to do it in Spanish. #MedTwitter

Made it a point early on in lab rotations to ask “basic” or “simple” research questions - Why do we add this solution? What is this machine used for? The patience or judgement engrained in the answers say a lot about the person, mentorship, and lab environment. #AcademicTwitter
