When This Stanford Professor Got Cancer, He Decided to Teach a Class About It Dr. Bryant Lin, who teaches medicine at Stanford University, was given a terminal diagnosis. He wanted his students to understand the humanity at the core of medicine.

Dr. Lin emulates the impact many of us want to have. I find his story inspiring.

Syphilis pattern by Jenni Frencham This is a pattern to create an amigurumi syphilis. Crafters should be comfortable working in the round and have at least intermediate-beginner ability with crochet.

Hoping for focus to get the most done in these 7 days!
