Where Kassel Rhymes with Castle

Every week I send out an update to the medical school, which gets send out as part of WGW (What's Good Wednesday), an email where the associate deans of students compiles the professional and academic accomplishments and life events of the student body in an effort to help keep us connected even though we are spread out across lecture halls, campuses, and hospitals across the state. Usually populated by sporadic submissions of significance, after talking with friends before I left, I decided to twist the format to suit my needs to stay connected to my class. After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Greetings from the UK!  Kassel Galaty  (Med21, I suppose) continues to study in the UK. Brexit happened, but we don't talk about that here. Notable talks this week have been about the History of CBT in Ghana, meeting the Canadian astronaut Jenni Sidey-Gibbons, and "Pick your Poison: Insectic

Here's an action shot of peer edits happening; you can tell its happe

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Hello from the UK! Kassel Galaty (Med21?) is still living that sweet, sweet sabbatical life, and, now that Med20 is transitioning to residency, she is starting to accept that she may in fact be a Med21. The term has really, truly started and with it lectures! This week has been filled with topics li

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Kassel Galaty (currently metamorphosing into a Med21) is still (still!) in the UK, where the term started yesterday. The breaks are 6 weeks long here, which means they are long enough that everyone is longing for classes to start again by the end. In the short time of term starting she has already a

The  National Archives has a pond out front and every morning I enjoyed being greeted by the diverse fowl outside. Hope you do too! Heron (?) Mid-downpour Swans on the move. A million times less graceful out of the water than in it.

Kassel Galaty (#themedicalstudentformelyknownasMed20) forgot to send in her update last week because the term had officially ended and there was no longer any external indications of what day of the week it was. Weekdays blurred into weekends blurred into missed WGW dead
