Thanks for the interest! I think for the time being I've already maxed out the number of cooks in the kitchen, but I appreciate the offer!

Thanks! I'm currently going through a second round of beta edits and then I'll probably try for some more queries again

Thought I'd try something new and attempted a drawing of the opening scene of the book I've been working on in #coloredpencil. It worked okay but think I might need to try oil paints to really get the 80s dark fantasy vibe I was going for with the #art.

Couldn't agree more, made a video specifically about this topic because people just don't seem to have any idea what value doctors bring and what harms we have grown and learned to mitigate.

Happy #matchday to all the new doctors soon to be heading out to their specialty training! #medsky

I think for the time being I've got my hands more than full, but thanks for the interest!

Reached out to some members of a novel exchange group I'm in and had a few kindly volunteer to be beta readers! Looks like I'll be going back for some more grinding and polishing after all. #booksky #creativedestruction

Definitely a piece of art! Love it!

Hard to believe I have to wake up to another day only to find that daylight savings still exists 👎

I really REALLY wish I had some kind of solution for this considering how valuable and important it is. I really don't think much short of 6+ months of paid maternity leave would do it though, and that would only be a start.

It would take a little over an hour of this cost to fund the ~300 unfunded preventive medicine residency spots in the nation that aren't currently covered under the HRSA grant for a year.

Finally got back the #DRG mug I made at a paint your own pottery place for Valentine's Day with my wife. I imagine it's not too hard to guess who my favorite character to play as is. #rockandstone #deeprockgalactic #gaming #pottery

Hey #artists, has anyone else been having difficulty getting #nightshade to work right? I downloaded it and it will act like it's about to run before suddenly returning "True" in the main panel, being active in task manager, and doing a lot of nothing. No problems with glaze though.

So what does the thyroid do, anyway? Well, probably the simplest way to think about it is as a regulator of your metabolism. It’s so important that it’s actually on the mandatory newborn screen in all 50 US states.
