Life at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Last November, I was able to attend the National Science Policy Network Symposium in Madison, Wisconsin. The goal of this two-day symposium was to understand… Read More »Regulating Genomic Information: How Algorithms Perpetuate Prejudice
Medical student Palak Patel reflects on the unique bonds made between classmates while in medical school.
Picking a thesis lab can be a daunting task. To increase the likelihood of a positive Ph.D. experience, most programs require students to test the… Read More »Lab Rotations: Finding the Right Relationship
Learning to code is proving more and more valuable for scientists who considered themselves to be solely bench researchers. What are you waiting for?
After Kobe Bryant’s tragic death, a medical student reflects on the ways the basketball icon inspired him to overcome personal challenges and develop an interest in medicine.
A high-speed photograph of a bullet exploding through lipstick. A photomicrograph of dishwashing liquid and water. A scanning electron microscope video of genetically engineered T cells fighting lymphoblastic leukemia. What do all of these have in common? These are all images that have made the invisible visible.
While some grad students enjoy rock climbing or running marathons, others prefer the quiet pleasures of a night in. Read how Ph.D. student Anna Moyer uses knitting to show her Baltimore, science, and Hopkins pride.
Baltimore murals are more than just landmarks. They are also windows into the communities that sponsored them and have deep roots in the neighborhoods’ histories and cultures.
For early career female scientists, the environment is rapidly becoming more inclusive. However, later career female scientists face a harsher reality.
The fruits of modern molecular biology offer us a powerful tool that allows us to engineer the genetic code of virtually any organism. Early therapeutic applications could foreshadow an inflection point for the positioning of genome engineering in modern health care.
