I'll chat about the trial and error involved in balancing PhD duties with Colors of the Brain , which came down to selecting an empathetic thesis advisor and learning how to ask for help from colleagues who share similar goals. I'll also share resources for those with different needs.

Flew to Phoenix just to meet my wife Dra. Mónica Aceves and drive back home. She’s officially done with her second clinical rotation. I’m so proud of her!

The coolest things I’ve done during my PhD (outside of research) started with a simple idea and a group of awesome people coming together to execute them. So fortunate and grateful to be surrounded by doers 🫶🏽

SOOO excited for this!! Join us!!

Recientemente el Conahcyt México liberó datos del Sistema Nacional de Investigadoras e Investigadores, un padrón de quienes hacemos ciencia en México.
Lo descargué y les traigo un hilo
