one of the most poetic things I've learned recently is the role of the cerebellum in emotion processing, it goes to show how deeply rooted our psyche is to the physical world, so much so that we regulate emotions in a similar way as we regulate movement, that is just beautiful

I think Medicine is still lacking more voices that represent the struggles of the working class, not just from the patient perspective but also from the perspective of the medical students and doctors that lack the resources to access spaces of power in our field.
