Boldly informing you that this is technically NOT the "official" blog of the UWMSTP. Also informing you that there does not exist an "official" blog of the UWMSTP and that this blog is the only one run by actual UWMSTP students with an emphasis on UWMSTP-relevant content. Just sayin'.

Would You Eat This?
We're all about food and interesting new ways to
enjoy it here at the Blog of the UW MSTP. Recently,
Chef Dan Barber has been experimenting with way to
bring high class cooking to people using food products that
would otherwise have gone to compost, or worse, to waste.
Check out this collaboration between NPR news and
PBS News Hour to learn a little more about his methods.

Prince Rupert's Drops: Not a Medical Eponym, but Still Pretty Cool Science!
Prince Rupert's drops are a particular type of glass sculpture
with some interesting properties that make them
incredible strong and incredibly fragile at the same time.
Smarter Every Day shares some great high-speed
footage of these things exploding for some impressive
slow motion science.

Medical School Exam Question Patients that Give Me Anxiety
See also: Patient presents with shortness of breath.
When this is the gist of the question stem, it sometimes helps
to remind yourself which exam you're taking
at the time. Neuro? Cardio? Nutrition?
