Parenting during the pandemic has been one of the hardest jobs I could have imagined. I have immense respect for the millions of parents who are grappling with the daily, exhausting decision-making that goes into protecting our kids’ health and their education.

the more research "gap years" become necessary for certain specialties, the more those specialties become inaccessible to medical students who do not come from wealthy families
