Some Great Cell Bio Videos
This is an amazing video put out by harvard showing the incredible activities going on inside of cells. My favorite part is the microtubule dynamic instability. Here is an entertaining video of an intrepretive dance about protein synthesis that was shown in my biochem class a few weeks ago. Make sure to watch (or fast-forward) past Paul Berg’s initial explanation [...]
White Coat Ceremony
White Coat Ceremony was this weekend. It has been called “the biggest love-fest just short of graduation” by a few of our professors. It is an event where we are presented with white coats (short ones) that signify the beginning of our medical educations and act as a sign to the community of our new roles. While [...]
One Class Down, Many More To Go
We had our last anatomy exam on Friday. This was the third exam and covered the head and neck. The practical was pretty straight forward but the written portion was really tricky. I am very happy to be done with it. It is also really nice to catch up on all of the sleep I missed [...]
Last Anatomy Exam
Our last anatomy exam is tomorrow. It will be great to have my first class under my belt. Although it has only been 8 weeks, we have covered an amazing amount of material (the gross anatomy of the entire body). One more test and it will be all done. I have been studying all week [...]
Holy Cow, time for a recap!
Wow, it’s been a crazy month. I quit my job, Kate quit her job, we took a trip to Vegas, Kate started a new job, and I started medical school. Here is a recap: Vegas was great! We managed to get great deal on a suite at Mandalay Bay. It was a very nice room and the [...]
Last Day
Friday was my last day at Dow Jones. It was a surreal day. I couldn’t believe that after 7 years I was all done. I think I am still in shock. While I am very excited to start medical school, I am very sad to be leaving such a special place. It is very hard [...]
The Big Sendoff
Thursday was my big sendoff. It was a blast. We didn’t get home until around midnight. The in-the-office event was very nice and included “brent quotes”, pictures, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a couple very nice parting gifts, and some very kind words. Then we went to Harvey’s to enjoy libations and the company of friends old and [...]
Second To Last Day At Work
Today is my second to last day at work. I am very sad to be leaving. I work with an amazing bunch of people. We have some fun planned this afternoon and evening; I get to enjoy the company of co-workers past and present. I am really looking forward to a fun night. We are starting [...]
The World Is Too Interesting
As of late I have found that the world is far too interesting of a place. I have a couple of really interesting projects at work and an endless number of pet projects at home. I’m sure once the brain-bending starts at med school I will be overwhelmed with the project possibilities provided by the medical school info fire hose. Hopefully I [...]
