A nice visit and discussion with Prof. Frank K. Lu of the The University of Texas at Arlington Aerodynamics Research Center. On the instrument floor you can see a supersonic wind tunnel set up. Towards the rear, is Prof. Lu's impressive detonation engine experimental apparatus. We had a chance to discuss detonation - deflagration theory and some of its implications. Fascinating stuff!

Many thanks to Andrés Felipe Torres Grande for the wonderful Mini-MD testimonial!

Celebratory breakfast for authors & contributors to the Stimulus Medical Humanities Journal. We gathered in The University of Texas at Arlington Department of Philosophy.

Many years ago, from 1995 - 1997, during the last two years of medical school and my surgical internship, I was the official purveyor of MCAT review for Princeton University working with their Princeton University Health Professions Advising office delivering a one week MCAT Intensive Review session during Spring Break. The campus was absolutely empty and the class was held in an otherwise deadly quiet Jadwin Hall, the home of the Princeton Physics Department. Here are some pictures from that time. Many of the students went on to outstanding careers in medicine, some of whom I've kept in touch with. During one of the breaks, I would sometimes wander the halls taking a look at the interesting history of science exhibits along the walls. The corridors were empty, except for one time when I came across a elderly man who likewise seemed to be wandering the halls. He was tall, somewhat disheveled, and looked at me with an unforgettable stare. And then, just like that, he shuffled away. I returned to the lecture but the experience stuck with me. It was, like the stare, unforgettable. A few years later, after watching the movie "A Beautiful Mind," I decided to look up the main character (those were the early days of Google) and realized that I recognized that man. I had seen him before and I remember exactly where it was. It was in Jadwin Hall during that rest break. It was John Nash. Anyway: I would love to reconnect with some of those students. As you can see, we were, as Henry V once said, "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers ..." If you were pre-med at Princeton from 1995 - 1997 and attended the MCAT Intensive Review (or know someone who did) feel free to reach out and message me. It would be great to catch up after all these years. .... And students in Florida now a-partying Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their minds cheap whiles any speaks That studied with us upon that Easter day.

Had the honor of giving a presentation at the Minority Association of Pre-medical Students (MAPS) "On Courage" where I reference the "Haec Mea Ornamenta Sunt" tablet at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (see https://bit.ly/49xhwT2) and, of course, the brave medical professionals seen in Mstyslav Chernov's 20 Days in Mariupol (https://lnkd.in/gvcGq6F3). I had the opportunity to watch a special screening of the film (see https://bit.ly/4bdVAhd), the week before it won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film offers an incredible example of the dedication, professionalism, and, above all, courage of the health professionals in Mariupol at that time, serving in this way as an inspiration and guiding light to the future generation of doctors, nurses and other health professionals. That is the message I wished to share.
