BioCredible Podcast
I am a physician-scientist that has worked in multiple academic centers in the United States. I have lived in poverty, suffered abuse, and overcame those obstacles to become an academic physician-scientist at a major University in the United States. I hope that my experiences can help other biomedical researchers and clinicians obtain perspectives to improve their work life balance. I discuss topics related to work-life balance, navigating careers in academic medicine, and discuss ways in which we can use our skill sets from biomedical and clinical research to improve our personal lives. I also spend time discussing how to utilize our skill sets to improve our financial situations so that we can regain our balance and decrease our dependency on our earned work. I look forward to you joining our community as we all work together to regain balance.

What to do about peer review?
Peer review is a constant source of frustration amongst biomedical and clinical researchers. It also causes a significant quantity of unnecessary stress to junior trainees who often feel that the values of the peer review process conflict with their own values. Dr. Glaucomflecken has a hilarious video on this (https://youtu.be/ukAkG6c_N4M). In this podcast I review why we have a peer review system, what niche the journals have filled, and what compensation (or lack of) is given to peer reviewers. I suggest a few strategies to dealing with the stress of peer review.
