You can call me Dr. Park

I research women and far-right movements in the U.S. and Europe, including why women are increasingly likely to join and how their role has changed. This speech was a masterclass. 1/

Growing up, I always borrowed my parents luggage for long trips and it was 10-15 years old and I didn’t understand why we didn’t just get new rolling suitcases and now I know it’s bc rolling suitcases are in that category of things I cannot believe are so expensive. Like lamps.

In 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke was flying over the Peruvian rainforest with her mother when she got sucked out of the airplane after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. She fell two miles to the ground, strapped to her seat. "The plane jumped down and went into a nose-dive. It was pitch black, and people were screaming. Then the deep roaring of the engines filled my head completely. Suddenly, the noise stopped, and I was outside the plane. I was in a freefall, strapped to my seat bench and hanging head-over-heels. The whispering of the wind was the only noise I could hear. I could see the canopy of the jungle spinning towards me. Then I lost consciousness and remember nothing of the impact. Later I learned that the plane had broken into pieces about two miles above the ground. I woke the next day and looked up into the canopy. The first thought I had was: 'I survived an air crash.'" Koepcke's first instincts were to try and find her mother, but she was nowhere to be found. After eating some sweets found at the crash site, Koepcke waded downstream and followed the river. After 10 days, she found a moored boat. She poured the gasoline from the boat's fuel tank onto her wounds, which were infested with maggots. She then spent the night in a makeshift shelter. "I remained there, but I wanted to leave. I didn't want to take the boat because I didn't want to steal it." The next day, she was discovered by loggers and was soon reunited with her father. She later discovered that her mother had initially survived the crash, only to die of her injuries several days later. Like her parents, Koepcke went on to study biology at the University of Kiel in Germany, graduating in 1980. She received her doctorate from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and returned to Peru to conduct research in mammalogy, specializing in bats.

I just told my husband in a VERY DISTRESSED tone that I stepped on a slug on my way back inside and I was barefoot and traumatized and he said to me “RODRIGO??? DID YOU STEP ON RODRIGO?”

Doctors in public: Stranger: “What do you do for a living?” Me: I work down town. “Where?” At the hospital. “What do you do there?” I work in the operating room. “Doing what?” I take care of people. “Are you a doctor or a nurse?” Fine. Yes. I’m a doctor. #MedTwitter

It's actually quite common (and not really talked about) for adults to tantrum. Here's how to get out of a tantrum:

@BeccaSeoul It’s the “no you’re not Korean” for me 🙃
