On 3/31 we have invited Dr. Auyon Ghosh and Dr. Michaela Kollisch-Singule to talk with you about their careers as physician scientists. They are both Upstate alumni and have pursued research in their residency and fellowship. Dr. Ghosh is a pulmonary critical
care physician and Dr. Kollisch-Singule is a pediatric surgeon. They both have negotiated protected time for research in their first faculty positions at Upstate. Believe it or not, you will be faculty in no time and you will want to hear the wisdom that they
are going to share. </div>

On 5/5 we have invited Dr. Karen Allbright and Dr. Mandip Dhamoon to talk with you about their research and clinical careers. Dr. Allbright is a stroke neurologist at Upstate and does very interesting work in precision medicine and epidemiology. Dr. Dhamoon
and I share wonderful parents, some DNA, and a dry sense of humor. He is also a stroke neurologist and epidemiologist and has an active clinical, research, and academic career at Mt. Sinai, in NYC. Drs. Allbright and Dhamoon are further along in their academic
careers and will be able to share struggles and victories of finding balance with research and clinical medicine over time. </div>
