@pnatarajanmd Thank you for sharing!

My 1st 1st-author original science paper as a postdoc was Y3 in. My most recent one before that was as a 1st-yr med student. With 0 productivity during clinical training, & as an MD-only physician-scientist-hopeful in a new field, this was hard. Retrospective lessons👇

If you couldn't attend my grand rounds at @WUDeptMedicine, it has been uploaded to YouTube! (youtube.com/watch?v=z4aZVQ…) Again -- thank you so much for having me (and to @MohitHarshMD for a way-too-gracious introduction).
