2020 began with the thought of sharing PhD tips over "virtual coffee" videos.
Little did I realize virtual coffee is all we could do in this #pandemic.

5 years is a VERY LONG time for a paper to be under review.
That was the case for our recently published paper in Nature.
Submitted in 2018 and published in 2023
What do you do as an early career researcher while waiting for a very important paper to be published ?

Today, nobody showed up to my 8.15am class.
0 students of about 40. Sitting in the empty room, I email them, trying to disguise my hurt feelings.
2 mins later, I get a reply: "Professor, we think you might be in the wrong room." So anyway off I go to live in a hole forever.

I'm a doctor.
My partner is a doctor. We are both at the same point in our training.
We have no guarantee that we can live in the same area when we enter further training.
We could end up opposite ends of the country. I've trained for years and the system couldn't care less.

Being a #Medical Writer is a blessing. 💊1/5
It was a job I landed during the pandemic, after a few months of unemployment.
On my first day at work, I felt my expertise was so much needed.
