Well I had a lead that this protein may have lead to chronic vs acute liver infection. Virus is closest relative to HCV in a small mammal. Protein (GVB-V 5A) I am world expert about; no one cares including me.

world expert is pretty cool
i mean i'm fairly knowledgeable about 'journeymen who once played for pittsburgh sports teams' but i wouldn't call myself a world expert

kevin, trust me, there are approximately six quadrillion proteins that you should be more interested in than GBV-B NS5A.

back when I was in grad school Take One everthing was all about transcription and I was SO LONELY as a translation person. Now everyone is all proteomics this, proteomics that, and I'm all oh please, I was doing proteomics (back before THAT WAS EVEN A WORD) back in the mid 90s OK?

may this spur your compassion for those less fortunate

if you find you are too frazzled and upset for compassion, meditate on New Mexican mountains to calm yourself

so are you just finishing up third year? extremely senior resident voice: ~~what're you gonna be when you grow up ~~

yeah, I’ve got peds to finish the year and then step 2 and 4th year
I’m going into internal medicine. it’s what I came into med school thinking I’d do, and though I’ve found things to really enjoy about all the clerkships I’ve done, I just can’t imagine not doing it. I originally was pretty sure I wanted to be a heme/onc doc, but this past year I’ve found myself more drawn to cardiology...so I’m not sure what the future holds there.
looking forward to next year, both to learn more and to hopefully recharge a bit before this internship thing I keep hearing about
― k3vin k., Saturday, 28 April 2018 04:01 (six years ago) link
oh boy cardiology
i worked for ACC, pls talk with me before u commit!

today's gig is tele-conferencing a seminar on mental health evals for asylum seekers, next gig is working at everyone's favorite federal agency for veterinarians
― gbx, Saturday, 9 June 2018 16:22 (six years ago) link
I am doing psych evals for asylum seekers too!
such a humbling and frankly frustrating process. let them all in imo
― k3vin k., Saturday, 9 June 2018 16:29 (six years ago) link
very same
my friend is an immigration lawyer and tells me that asylum seekers that have psych evals have a much higher success rate (at least in this jurisdiction)
