Goodbye PC Mag Hello Science

Over the past few weeks I have become quite obsessed about reading Science. It's a very intellectual science magazine with many experiments and findings that are relevant to the science community. This new found love came one evening when I was heading off to bed and saw that on my desk next to my bed I had several layers of magazines. The titles of the magazines included ones like PC Mag and PC World. So what's wrong with a little computer geek knowledge you may be asking yourself right?

Well this use to be my thinking as well and its alright to have hobbies and interests in things not related to your career but after analyzing my reading habits I discovered I was reading more of these kinds of magazines than I really should. I was flooding my brain with all sorts of new gadgets and tech news that although is incredibly interesting left little time for my love of science. As much as the introduction of a new tablet or the next version of windows is interesting to me so is an article on say using spleen cells in mice to promote the pancreas to produce beta cells to help those with type 1 diabetes.

My love for technology is strong but my goal in life is to help people and make an impact in the medical community. Maybe one day I can combine the two but for now its time to replace those PC magazines with ones like Science and Nature which will allow me to read and learn about things that actually may help me in my career of medicine one day.

So if you see a trend of more posts about the medical community and less about technology don't be alarmed. It's just my way of making some adjustments in order to be more successful down the road.
