Happy birthday Ray Z.!

The WisconsinMSTP and this impossibly hip lizard would like to extend our best wishes for your birthday!

Have a fantastic year!

You Can Do It!

We're just about a month into the school year for our

Med 1 and Med 2 students. The Med 2's have already 

watched their first exams of the year come and go, 

and the Med 1's will be taking their first block of exams

in about two weeks. Here's to a great year, everyone! 

It'll be May before you know it.

(Although truth is that our MSTP Mentor Program

is awesome, 100% voluntary, and can be super helpful.)

Happy Birthday Maria S.!

Here's to your first birthday ever as an MD/PhD student! Hope you're having an excellent day!

The guinea pigs represent perseverance.  Or something.

(Also: Site review today!  Be good, everyone!)

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!

Happy birthday Kunil R.!

The Wisconsin MSTP blog would like to wish a very happy birthday to Kunil!  May your birthday make you as happy as snuggling a bearded dragon apparently makes this cat.
