Edale

This a belated post, but on Oct. 20th, the Hillwalking Club (American trans. hiking) hosted a trip to Edale in the Peak District. We walked through sheep fields up to the top of a moor, bush-whacked through heather and bracken, and watched as the weather turned from blue skies to horizontal wind and drizzle. It was wonderful!

Cheers!























It's subtle, but please try to appreciate the horizontal nature of the wind

The Concept of Time, the Festival of Ideas, "When Was Reproduction Invented," and Wandering around St. Johns

About two weeks ago, I was running late for everything. Still working out the distance to things, not to mention where things were in the first place. As 5 pm rolled around, my phone calendar informed me that I was, unsurprisingly, late for one of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas* panel discussion/debate called “When Was Reproduction Invented?” Undeterred, I decided to brave whatever public shame walking in late would bring.

Turns out I did! I had put the...

WGW: October 23rd, 2019

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.  Kassel Galaty (formerly of Med20, now of Med21) continues to be in the UK. She went to several FASCINATING lectures this week, highlights include: "Smell in the 18th century," The Lungs of a Ship," "Philosophy of Psychiatry," and "How Should We Deliver Babies." She...

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...
