To quote Ruth Bader Ginsburg — “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception.”
That includes the OR, laboratory, board room, and beyond.

Got lunch! I love the halal cart on the corner of 11th & Walnut - Niaz makes the best falafel! I ate in the courtyard with Max, a student on our service. Working with students has taught me how to be a better teacher (but the students are already so bright!)

Mornings typically start with a cup of coffee and this guy, who has learned to expect breakfast at the crack of dawn when he hears me rustle. Pavlov would be proud
