Thanksgiving Break Is Almost Upon Us!

A Happy Thanksgiving from the UW MSTP.

May your holiday be filled with good food,

good company, and some well-deserved rest.

Hopefully no cooking disasters 

in any of your kitchens this year.

It's Easter Day today, which means it is also the last

Anonymous Valentine's Day - Appropriate Quotes from the UW MSTP

"I think this presentation was supposed to teach my what sorts of professional skills I should be cultivating during grad school and med school. What I actually learned was that I need to get a wife who works and will take care of me and any children we have. Then I can be like that guy who gave this talk on how successful he has been since grad school and med school with great thanks to his wife who worked and took care of him and any children they had during that time."

"Yeah, apparently we all need to get a wife. And not just any wife, a wife who works and will take care of us."

It's Christmas Eve, and this pup is ready for the festivities to commence 

(Charlie Brown Christmas tree and all!).  

Hope everyone out there is getting the chance to spend some time 

with family, friends, and furry friends.

Anonymous Quotes from Support Systems

"You mention in your letter about a academic paper, what is an academic paper?  Does it have something to do  with your classes? "

Some of us come from generations of doctors and scientists. Some of us come from other kinds of families.

Puppy Party Time!

Matt L. and his fiancée Jenny had a birthday party for their puppy, Hope. (It was also a birthday party for Jenny, but since Hope pretty much runs the household, all cake involved with that party was all about Hope.)

Birthday cake! (Also note the paw print cupcakes in the background. So yummy!)

Happy birthday, Hope. It's too bad she refused to stay still for a photo whenever she was being forced to wear that Happy Birthday tiara.
