"I'm a first-generation college student and my parents have always emphasized the importance of education for me and my siblings. They encouraged me to pursue anything that I found interesting and to do it with a passion…My time spent in Dr. Wheatley-Guy's lab has also been a major influence on my desire to continue my education. Having a supportive lab leader who celebrates your own personal goals helped me make the decision to pursue my Ph.D." — Jordan Parks, new Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. student.

Congratulations to Brittny, who recently received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! 🌼 Here is an excerpt from her nomination: "I received a surprising diagnosis following what seemed like minor symptoms. Still in shock, I had to undergo a bone marrow biopsy. I was anxious, expecting a painful, un-sedated procedure. However, the nurse in charge, Brittny, reassured me that the sedation would make the biopsy painless. True to her word, the experience was far less distressing than I had feared. A few weeks later, after a lengthy hospital stay, I returned to the Infusion Center for a blood transfusion. To my surprise, Brittny came by even though she wasn't assigned to me. She took the time to talk with me about my concerns and uncertainties regarding the diagnosis. Her comforting words offered me and my wife the hope we desperately needed. Brittny demonstrated excellent technical skills and provided exceptional emotional support, which has had a lasting impact on both me and my wife. Her care and compassion will never be forgotten, no matter what the future holds." Mayo Clinic is among over 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide committed to the DAISY Award program. The DAISY Award is presented each month to an extraordinary nurse. Consider a career in nursing at Mayo Clinic: https://mayocl.in/46XsO3j.

Earlier this month, Mayo Clinic’s Dr. Kwan Lee visited IHC RS Pusat Pertamina (RSPP), a Mayo Clinic Care Network member, to host grand rounds. The event provided medical staff with valuable knowledge on how to treat complex heart interventions to improve patient outcomes. “Dr. Lee taught us how to approach difficult cases systematically in daily clinical practice," said RSPP’s Dr. Kurniawan Iskandarsyah. "Dr. Lee’s presentation increased our insight into the development of technology in the field of interventional cardiology.” The discussion was made possible through the coordination efforts of Royston Lek, executive director of Mayo Clinic APAC, Yue Xu, account manager of Mayo Clinic APAC and Safalina Ganis, Indonesia representative.

"My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and her journey inspired my decision to investigate cancer during my predoctoral studies. I hope to address the genetic risk factors involved in cancer development that can be used as methods of prevention and to develop patient-specific treatments. Because race plays a significant role in many cancers, I aim to incorporate a focus on health disparities in my Ph.D. work." — Alani Perkin, new Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. student.
