Favorite thing about Yale:
People are truly interested in academics - whether research & development, constant improvement or simply engaging each other in a really good differential diagnosis. Yale has so many opportunities for advancing one's career goals, making connections/mentorship, seeing diverse & interesting pathology. New Haven is a great little city, just minutes away from the real city/center of the universe (New York).

Gardening, hiking, drinking wine (with good food and company when possible), clarinetist, baritone vocalist, drinking pina coladas while taking walks in the rain on the dunes of the Cape.
