Its horrible that only one post made it through to the internet, before the clamor of school, and the multitude of "worries" crept up to take my mind off this blog. However, I still hope to document as much as I can, and there is plenty more school coming up.
So the next question then is where should I even start. The last few months have passed by in a flicker, and never did I have a chance to slow down and ruminate.
This summer has been particularly difficult to plan out. Unsure of whether I wanted to immerse myself in clinical medicine, travelling, or in research, which provides both an intellectual challenge, and helps with future competitiveness.
In the end, I could not resist working with one of the top scientists in Toronto. A month in, and I wonder when I will actually learn from this top scientist. Fortunately, even if I do not directly interact with him, he has been able to recruit top notch post-doctoral fellows who are each have their own credentials. As such, many of my summer days have been rich with the dialogue of two diametric post-docs, both with their own individual personality, beliefs, and research style. So that is where I will re-start the blog:
How to be successful in research.
Every so often, I will also throw in interesting insight and tibbits that I have gleaned off books that I have recently read: including:
"When the air hits your brain", "Complications", "Power of Focus", "Six Thinking Hats"....
Aiming to run a half-marathon in September, I will also post the routes that I run everyday, and any interesting recipes that I try out.
Look forward to more posts to come!
