PSA: “You look tired” is never appreciated. 🤬
Today in hallway:
Male JR faculty: You look tired.
Me: Nah, I’m feeling great.
Him: Are you sure? You really look tired.
Me: Are you confusing my lack of makeup today with my well being?🙄
Happen to anyone else?
My first day of college was 9 years ago, and yet the medical school class I’ll eventually graduate with just started. This is quite the educational marathon and I’m feeling that

Tomorrow is the first committee meeting where I will NOT be bringing snacks.
This practice is thought to cause undue financial stress and exaggerate the power differential. Honestly, I feel a bit nervous about it but I’ll report back how it is received.
🗣PSA prompted by meeting w my mentee today:
1) Imposter syndrome must be confronted.
2) You know a lot about a lot, but you can’t know everything.
3) It’s ok to ask for help!
4) Your accomplishments brought you to the dance. Keep dancing💃🏻.
5) You BELONG in (your field here)!
Thank you to UAB for rolling out the red carpet for post docs this week! I am thrilled to be awarded the 1st place 🥇 oral presentation and am humbled to win the Excellent Peer award🥺🥰! Happy
