Summer Break Is Upon Us!

It's Commencement Weekend this weekend, which means that a lot

of things are happening right about now: our M1's will officially be on 

summer break and heading in to their summer research rotations, 

the M2's will frantically switch over from School Mode 

to Step 1 Study Mode, and the M4's are GRADUATING! 

With much of the UW MSTP on summer break starting tomorrow, 

the Blog of the UW MSTP will be on break as well. 

Updates may continue over summer, but sporadically rather than daily. 

Have a great summer, everyone!

Friday Fish Fry!

It's not quite Friday, but it'll be Friday tomorrow, which 

means there will be some awesome fried fish to be had

all over town in about 24 hours!
