This is the worst natural catastrophe in the history of my region. Hundreds of cities flooded, including my own. 100+ people dead. 100.000+ people displaced. Millions affected.

What a grand way to celebrate the ending of our 4y journey together @UNCneurology 🧗🏻‍♀️ #Almost_Neurologists 🧠🧩 #AANAM @AANmember #NeuroTwitter

📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n nature.com/articles/d4158…
