UN resolution: maps should depict Africa realistically.
“This discussion is not a political discussion [but] a scientific discussion, because there is scientific proof so we all have to accept the reality.”
I’ve spent time in African countries and am baffled why this took so long.

Ok, so I would 💯 encourage my child(ren) to be physicians. I love my colleagues & patients, the skill set, the job security, even the peds pay isn’t a deal breaker.
But my kid is a fairly mediocre test taker, particularly for standardized tests, and this worries me a lot….

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
