Practice helps. But what makes you shine is how you handle the questions thrown at you during/after your presentation. I prepare for interruptions (and practicing your presentation with others will help) and try to anticipate questions. If there is one that is totally left field (which can happen)... make sure you…

What a breakthrough! I love sweet potatoes. They're so easy. Pop them in the microwave, serve with butter and cinnamon. Yummm

Um, I would not choose her to interpret my radiographs.

Welcome to my neck of the woods! Kramerbooks is overrated and their staff was rude the last time I went... go to Second Story Books instead (it's also in Dupont Circle). Used books, sure, but it's just so fun there! The selection is stellar :)

It's a valid concern. Last year at my current medical school, one student raped another student. The victim filed an informal complaint and the university committee (a group that typically deals with stuff like plagiarism and the like) ruled against her (the rapist is a fairly popular student here, ugh). She's now…

I'm curious about the formal vs. informal process as well. But this is what I do know. I was given both options when I was pressing for action back at my university. And for me, the informal option was presented as a way for me to protect my anonymity and things would be resolved internally. I chose the formal option,…

And this club has EVERYYTHINGGGGG!

About the cake— it reminds me of that chilling scene from "Black Swan" where Natalie Portman's mother throws a similar tantrum about feeding her cake.

And the kicker? These kids aren't even overweight! They look perfectly fine for their respective ages.

Hell yeah! Beth Ditto is FIERCE! And the promo shot looks great, I'm excited!

Nice! Go Massachusetts.

I am reading these lyrics in a cartoon dog voice... if that makes any sense. :)

Or the parents who were on a strict vegan diet an fed their infant the same way? It's scary. Children's nutritional requirements are so important! If you deprive them of something during early development it can be near impossible to recover.

A FOUR year old should not be losing weight. Her little body needs to develop, I recently learned that 90% of alveoli development happen after birth and goes until 8 years old. The poor girl is suffocating in hat dress... let her breathe and get a bigger dress!

I hope they take volunteers at this fat dogs camp! I am a chubbychaser (word I recently learned from MTV, great) when it comes to dogs.

I wonder if she'll get all violently rage-y like I did when I was on BC...

Hear, hear! It's very disrespectful.

The Yalie whom I've experienced is far superior in bed than others I've known... which is (just one of the reasons) why I've kept him. DISPROVED!

I just google-imaged tapir. And d'awwwwww!

Whoa WHAT? For a second I thought it was a spotted baby elephant. Regardless, I want one.
