But what do girls themselves think might explain this? As you might have guessed, we don’t really know.

Many patients with stage 4 cancers, like myself, rely on clinical trials as our last hope for survival when our first, second, and third line treatments fail--and these treatments will eventially fail--these clinical trials are what we have left to try to survive.

Update: Unofficial word training directors are hearing is the hiring freeze won’t impact psychology interns or post docs.
Literal nightmare. It’s 2017 all over again.
Federal hiring freezes could potentially impact the Match. I matched in 2017 and it ask worked out fine. Hope it does this time too. Stay frosty out there folks.
