As you know, as part of the PhREI network, we decided to start a weekly roundup to share new activity from across the network. Enjoy!

The Darwinian Doctor

Daniel Shin of the Darwinian Doctor is talking about an important topic that I think is not talked about quite enough. He is going to give us the 9 WORST reasons to become a doctor. Without further ado:
