“Before applying to medical school nearly 30 years ago, I served as a medic in rural post-war El Salvador…”

This Tottenham squad will go down as legends. They have accomplished what Gareth Bale, Harry Kane and Luka Modric could not.
Son Heung-min might now eclipse Kane as the best player in Spurs’ modern history.
Kane left to win a trophy, Son stayed to prove the doubters wrong.

Dear #hivemind:
Going to #Italy 🇮🇹 this summer.
What’s the most efficient way for me to #LearnItalian if I’m already fluent in Spanish? Thinking conversational learning from somone who speaks both (where would I find such a teacher?). Would welcome your recommendations for resources.
Grazie, 재언

Some adults should get a #measles vaccination! If you were born after 1957 and haven’t had 2 doses, check with your doctor. I got my first dose in 1967, wasn’t fully immune during an outbreak while I was pregnant, got a dose of MMR in 1990.
