I met Shyla last year in a meeting. Her father had dreamt of making her a doctor. But his dreams drowned in the sewer he had died in. This is her story. (ruralindiaonline.org/articles/my-mo…)
Ten years later, Shyla is almost close to realising her father’s dream. She is doing her nursing course, and she needs help. As a society that sent her father down the sewers, I think it is our responsibility to see that she becomes a nurse.
When I met her again last month, Shyla was exuding confidence. “I will soon be a nurse and if you need anything, call me over” she told me and i cant wait.
Shyla’s course fee for third year comes close to Rs 1 lakh. I already have someone pledging Rs 10,000.

1/Welcome to our third #OCTober #Tweetorial 🎃🤓. Here we’ll talk
about how #OCTImaging can help detect the mechanisms of in-stent
restenosis (ISR) to guide treatment. #imagefirst #imagelast

Important Safety Info: abbo.tt/2GyBrZ1
2/ What causes ISR? Stent underexpansion and neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) are the two predominant mechanisms of stent failure, as cited in this expert consensus document of the European Association of PCI: bit.ly/2PdMGtt

Important Safety Info: abbo.tt/2GyBrZ1
3/Here’s how stent underexpansion and NIH are seen on angiography and OCT respectively. To spot NIH, look for a large layer of growth on top of an already fully expanded stent.

Thinking about great teams today. (Yes, still with the damn DORA report.) People see the "7% of teams function at a elite level" stat and they assume those teams must naturally be made up of the top 7% of elite engineers. Not so.

SO not so.
You can't just gather together 10 engineers in the top decile and assume you get a team in the top decile. Being a good teammate relies on categorically different skills than being a good engineer.
In fact, people who are used to leaning on their eng skill set too hard tend to fail in predictable ways.. So what you get is a powerful engine of lemmings (who would strenuously resist that description, probably on reddit).

Thinking of applying to grad school soon? Here are some tips that weee helpful to me. I used them in making the best of my grad school experience. Two years later, I’m still reaping the benefits.
1. Why do you want to go to grad school? Ask yourself this question. As @DamiOyedele once told me “argue with yourself and win”.
2. Pick the right schools.

Look for people who have the type of career you want. Check what schools they went to. If you are seeing patterns with certain types of schools, those are the schools you should be applying to. Don’t just randomly pick a school.

@JackPosobiec I know you think you are doing the right thing. Think about this for a second. You are trying to supposedly “expose” some Shills as Q. You don’t understand what this movement is about, at all. Not in the least. Trying to Doxx Q prior to mid-terms in order to Divide and
@JackPosobiec Conquer makes me suspicious of your motives.

As a Q Movement supporter, I don’t care if Barron Trump is Q. What the movement has done is bring thousands of people together from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all races and nationalities #TOGETHER
