If you are a biomedical informatics trainee interested in academics: consider applying. I helped run it with Lucila Ohno-Machado + @JAMIAEditor_Sue + @AMIAinformatics staff for 8 years (after @kbjohnsonmd founded & ran it for 10 years). It's fun, and you'll learn a ton... (1/2)

Trainees: find good mentors. One of mine was Dick Masland. As a student, I was interested in neurosurgery and #NeuralNetworks. Working in Dick’s lab showed me some of the best #neuroscience is done in the visual system. @harvardbrainsci @HMSEye @SfNtweets @ARVOinfo Proctor Medal
