Briana Christophers - Be Bold

<p>Briana Christophers is a 4th year MD-PhD student at the Weill Cornell/Rockefeller/Sloan Kettering Tri-Institutional MD-PhD program. Though early in her academic and scientific career, Briana has already established herself as a thought-leader and a strong advocate for diversity in the physician-scientist pathway. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, she worked in organizations such as Princeton Latinos y amigos, the Latinx Collective and initiatives including Project Welcome Mat: A Guide for First-Generation students, all work that was recognized by the Frederick Douglass Service Award, the Spirit of Princeton Award, and the Santos-Dumont Award for Innovation. Now, in addition to the demands of MD-PhD training, Briana continues this work by co-running the Association of Diverse Physician-Scientists in Training, as a co-author and lead editor of the Free Guide to Medical School Admissions, and by developing the Mini-lessons by Medical Scientists video series. She also recently wrote a piece for the behind the microscope blog which can be found at <a href="http://www.behindthemicroscope.com/">www.behindthemicroscope.com</a>.</p> <p>Credits:</p> <p>Our thanks to Briana for being on the podcast.</p> <p>Follow her on Twitter at @brichristophers.</p> <p>Check out her website: <a href="http://www.brianachristophers.com/">www.brianachristophers.com</a></p> <p>Mini Lessons by Medical Scientists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nau58li4gKU</p> <p>Free Guide to Medical School Admissions: tiny.cc/MedAppGuide</p> <p>Host: Bejan Saeedi</p> <p>Co-Host and Audio Engineer – Joe Behnke</p> <p>Executive Producer and Social Media Coordinator – Carey Jansen</p> <p>Executive Producer – Michael Sayegh</p> <p>Faculty Advisor – Dr. Brian Robinson</p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/behindthescope_" target="_blank"><strong>@behindthescope_</strong></a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/behindthemicroscopepod/" target="_blank"><strong>@behindthemicroscopepod</strong></a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="http
