Special Guest: Dr. MeNore Lake: July 26th
On one of our Friday seminars, we had a very special guest. Dr. MeNore Lake is a Radiology Resident at Mount Auburn Hospital, one of the Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospitals. Dr. Lake is the youngest of 3 daughters to her parents, Dr. Gashaw Lake and Mrs. Leyuwork Makonnen. Her parents moved from Ethiopia for their education, and shared the Ethiopian culture in their home. She grew up with her sisters, Dr. AeuMuro Lake and Ms. WeyeNeshet Lake, in Frankfort, Kentucky. Her cultural upbringing instilled her interest in global affairs, which she has continued to cultivate. She came to speak to our interns about her journey to medical school and to introduce the field of radiology. The students found the experience to be extremely valuable as they were able to learn more about the medical school process and what it take to become a physician.
Lab Visits
Last week we conducted lab visits to see in person the work environment of our students. Each student and lab host/mentor gave a tour of the lab and then we sat down to discuss the status of their summer project! Pictured below is Aby Lachapelle working hard in Dr. Lu's lab! Her summer project includes culturing cells to determine the protein profiles of mice afflicted with kidney failure.
