They were SO CONFIDENT that everything

Happy (belated) birthday Michael R.!
The Wisconsin MSTP blog would have announced this on Saturday...but given the retreat and the *cough* excessive celebration that MAY OR MAY NOT have taken place that day, it was perhaps best that the Wisconsin MSTP blog admins did not have access to their laptops.
We hope this video of tiny, tiny animals brightens your day!

First Med School Block Exams
Our Med1's have their first block of exams today.
Good luck, Med1's! You'll soon see that there's nothing
quite like the sweet, sweet freedom of post-block-exam recovering.

Ah, Diversity.
This billboard seems to suggest that, at the very least, Madison
is more culturally diverse than some of the cities
located between our isthmus and Chicago.
(And yes, we have actual Mexican restaurants.)

All Grown Up!
Yet another video for those pesky questions
that are seemingly so straightforward but not
necessarily covered directly in the medical school
curriculum. Did you know when each of these organ
systems stops growing relative to the average human body?

Happy birthday Daryl F. and Zachary M.!
You share a birthday, but fear not, the Wisconsin MSTP blog is not so crass as to make you share an e-present.
For Daryl: You are SO CLOSE to the end of your PhD. SO CLOSE.
We thought you might appreciate this, the Parable of the Doge. Hopefully it doesn't strike a little too close to home.
For Zach: Everyone has heard of Nietzsche, some people have read his stuff, but I'm willing to bet very few people actually know how to pronounce his name. Here's a brief tutorial for everyone!

News and Events
Here at the UW MSTP, no person is too important to advocate for continued advancements in science and research. Dr. Anna Huttenlocher, our fearless leader and Director of the UW MSTP, recently co-authored a letter to the editor in support of the continued use of cell lines derived from fetal tissue. The letter was co-authored by Dr. Michael Sussman and co-signed by 678 other faculty members. The full text can be found here.
