It's #BlackHistoryMonth! Feb 3 is National Women Physician's Day - the bday of Elizabeth Blackwell, the 1st woman to get an MD in the U.S. (1849).

Rebecca Crumpler was the 1st Black woman to get an MD (1864).

There are no photos of Crumpler! but you'll see photos, so let's talk about them. 1/10

So grateful that she persevered

As we wind down interview season for #neuromatch 2025, I reflect on the misperceptions about @MayoClinic

My favorite is how many people have thought we drive around with chains on our tires!

No chains here... but we will take some more snow ❄️
