    While I was at @harvardmed, my big brother would 🖊me from his jail cell. Nothing was more motivating and humbling... I was reminded of where+what I came from and how easily it could have gone the other way. His letters continue to help me almost a decade later. #MadTowntoHarvard

    If I could only tell my 4 yr old self visiting my big brother in prison “one day you’ll be rejecting a full professor’s bullying over YOU writing too many high impact papers while being hood, brown, and fly while doing it.” My stripes were earned in a different way 💪🏽🏁

    I 1st met w/ my mentor @DrPaulNguyen in 2013 to talk about possibly doing research. He asked me what skills I had and I basically said “none... but I can learn em and I’m hungry.” We’ve had a great streak since. Don’t be afraid to mentor mentees that need mentoring #medtwitter

    I recently had the privilege of presenting my ongoing research to my department. My favorite part of these talks is sharing the personal lessons that our patients, research, colleagues, friends, family and "process" teach us along the way. #medtwitter #MedEd
