@AmyHDeekenMD Thank you @AmyHDeekenMD! Never seen these before, but they are great! Amazing what the gross anatomy can tell you

Very menacing but total lovers, ha!

Uno on the 51st day and Cinco on the 55th!

Hi all, I'm Alex Lokken, 1st year medical student at Rosalind Franklin in Chicago by way of Arizona 2. I grew up with pet emus (pic related) 3. @_p1zzacat @DrLesliesPath @KMirza @EHenrieMD @EmilyHagen9 @AMadapoosi

@rajitrattan The tree is still young!

@ALokken94 Don't see oncology anywhere... Must be higher up...

I saw this while going through some of my lecture slides today and this seemed like the best place to put it. 1 semester in the books!

@Emefa82 If I was remotely artistic, I'd add a branch with a little owl on it with #4n6 on its belly haha

@ALokken94 As usual, Forensic Pathology is left out.

@mreyesm @KMirza No way, I found the ebook on the school library! Thank you @mreyesm !!

@ALokken94 @KMirza You should read “Cells, Tissues and Disease” by Guido Majno. It is still quite current.

@AmyHDeekenMD Fantastic share, thank you!!

Hey #PathTwitter! Lets give a warm #SoMe welcome to @ALokken94, a #Chicago M1 considering pathology with a special interest in #forensics #4n6 - lets get him connected and set up for success! Thanks! cc: @pathologiste08

@EHenrieMD @KMirza @pathologiste08 @WKemp_MT_FPDoc @NicoleJacksonMD @tracyshalvorson @christinashreve @DMarshallMD @DrLesliesPath @BarbaraPath @KAMitchellR @BeynonMD So true! It was difficult for me to appreciate this before getting involved, but has become an invaluable framework for med school--so thankful! A 10,000ft view early on is so key! Thank you @EHenrieMD!

@KMirza @ALokken94 @pathologiste08 @WKemp_MT_FPDoc @NicoleJacksonMD @tracyshalvorson @christinashreve @DMarshallMD @DrLesliesPath @BarbaraPath @KAMitchellR @BeynonMD Nice to meet you @ALokken94! I think it was @NicoleJacksonMD and/or @DrLesliesPath who emphasized how foundational #4n6path is to medicine--this is something I always try to impress upon (O)MS1's and beyond :) Welcome!
