Also glad to snatch #Twitter selfie with @DKirschMDPhD who is introducing the speaker🤗

Dr Kaelin starting off with a few pearls of wisdom:

1️⃣ He advises that he actually does not have a PhD🙃

That is good news for some of us that this not a principal #physicianscientist career killer😁

(Though it probably does not hurt 😅)

2️⃣also, keep believing, and disregard predictions like this one from one of his prior advisors who questioned his career trajectory 😁 #NobelPrize

3️⃣Great #Mentorship is key⚠️

And did you know that he had his 1st poster at a @RRS_RadRes Meeting 4️⃣0️⃣ years ago❓️

And Herman Suit came by to look at it‼️

See, good things will happen when you start out at @RRS_RadRes ☢️📢👍🤩😄

What a wonderful Little Plenary Lecture🙏🙏🙏
