Virtual Brain Week will help schoolkids, home-bound attendees get out of their heads
This year’s cerebral celebration will bring a packed roster of researchers from Brown’s Carney Institute for Brain Science and beyond into classrooms and homes to expand knowledge about the brain.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] Kids across Rhode Island are familiar with the signs that spring is on its way melting snow, longer days and plastic models of brains popping up in classrooms. The latter is a hallmark of Brain Week R.I., a series of school visits, fairs, presentations, performances and events held each March to make brain science fun, educational and accessible for everyone.

Ideally, one would go into medical school or any other mind-taxing, demanding endeavor childless and without any burden or distraction. Then, there would be single-mindedness and a clear focus toward accomplishing goals on time. For medical students who are also parents, the challenges can sometimes overpower personal resolve, making them quit prematurely.
Medical Students Who are Also Parents
Some med student-parents start medical school and get pregnant along the way. Others already have families, but that did not stop them from fulfilling their dreams (not that it should). There is really no best time to start a family or go to medical school, says Britt DeRuyter, who was a parent and a medical student at Medical College of Wisconsin. The mother of four boys admitted that it could be incredibly exhausting physically and emotionally to strive to be a successful student and parent simultaneously, AAMC Student Residents noted.

Newsflash: Lots of Black and Brown folks want to get vaccinated, but bureaucratic and technical bottlenecks, like crashing websites and inaccessible vaccine sites, are standing in the way.
The number of Black people who say they would be interested in getting the vaccine has steadily risen. A December poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) COVID-19 vaccine monitor project found that 62% of African Americans say they would probably or definitely get vaccinated against COVID-19 if given the opportunity; a 12% increase from the same September 2020 survey.
