After the pandemic…what now?

What is there to say that has not already been said? Well, maybe a bit of personal reflection is in order.

Mid-February of the year 2021, near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.

My son, George, anxiously awaits decisions from medical schools that he has applied to and had interviews with. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) remains a fantastic option for him, as he has applied to the UAB Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), where he would be able to attain both his PhD and MD degrees.

The interview at UAB went fantastic for George. The head of UAB MSTP admissions seems to really like George quite a bit. It would be the thrill of my life to see George matriculate to UAB in the fall of 2021 and begin that academic and intellectual journey.
