Hey May! Glad to hear you’ve been loving Duke! I just started med school at UNC and I feel you on just trying to figure out routine - I feel like there’s just so much to adjust to but like you said it’s nice having a group of ppl going through it with you. Good luck with med school and excited to follow you on your journey!

Hey May, congrats on Duke! Do you think you can make a video about how you were able to find research opportunities at Brown? I’m a current student there (thanks in part to your videos!) and I’m not sure how to approach research
