Bike Trip Oct.17th

Sights and scenes from my bike ride through the countryside south of Cambridge. This was my route (total of 18.4 miles):

Along the way I saw some lovely things:

There's a little speck in the sky, which is a bird flapping his wings desperately against the wind and getting nowhere, until at last he dove to the earth in either defeat or exhaustion.

Am I anthropomorphizing a bit? Yes, a lot in fact, but how can you not see that in the bird?

Nothing makes the sky look bigger than a landscape as flat as a pancake.

Red telephone box in Newton that has been repurposed into a lending library. I died and went to heaven when I saw it.

Last bit of the trip (and really the destination that inspired it in the first place), the DNA Cycle Path, which runs from Addenbrooke's Hospital to Great Shelford and is doecorated with 10,257 colorful stripes which represent the four nucleotides of the BRCA2 gene.

Cheers!

WGW: November 13th, 2019

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. Persisted greetings from the UK! Kassel Galaty (Med20/21) continues her transatlantic research. As hoped, she was able to actually do London things while in London this time and can confirm that the reports are true--there are things outside of the National Archives. She scored cheap seats to the N...

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner. Kassel Galaty (med20forlife) has been in Cambridge for a full month! This last week has been less travel- and activity-filled, and more lecture- and historical-fact-filled. She joined the Downing College rowing team and finally made it out on the water--the boat didn't tip over, no one fell in, ...

She turned in her second essay which was entitled, "Becoming a Doctor: Understanding the Intersection of Physician Attire, Medical Professionalism, and Identity." Here's an action shot of peer edits happening; you can tell its happe...
