People will do this with RFK Jr. too: "You may disagree with his conclusions, but at least he's standing up for what he believes in!"

OK but the thing he believes in is getting children killed so let's just go ahead and stay focused on the disagreement.

Absolutely. The pathophysiology is so interesting, but the way she tells the story is equally riveting!

I’ll also add this one. The story of how such a striking clinical presentation could have a distinct molecular cause - and the role that both the clinical and laboratory sides played in elucidating it - was a huge inspo for me in going MD/PhD

Didn’t see you posted this already! This is mine as well!

This is why I’ve always loved the quote “Don't let schooling interfere with your education.”

MD/PhD student here. For me it was Oliver Sacks’ The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. I’m sure I’m not the only one who was inspired by it!

Agreed that anchoring science in physical results is crucial, but I think it’s a stretch to say most neuroscience isn’t tied to the physical. Tons of work on disease models as stated elsewhere, but also basic biology of neurons, synapses, glia, anatomical work, etc etc.
