In this week’s episode, we present our amazing colleague Ebun Falade. Ebun has been a great leader, and she's a phenomenal speaker and an excellent conversationalist, a fact that will become apparent when one listens to the episode. Ebun demonstrates to us the ability not to let her self-worth be defined by sets of numbers that may not determine who she is on the mere account of a bad semester. She made it a point to never dwell on her failures throughout her journey, for that sort of entrenchment in one's past defeat can lead to a crippling end. Every bad or good experience was a profound learning experience for her, which changed her perspectives and how she approached her future endeavors. She opines a bit on how to take advantage of social media to find academic connections; actually, she was able to secure a research position by sliding In the DMs. This episode is packed with tons of actionable advice through the reflections of her story. For this and more, tune in and join this episode!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
