South African. MD PhD DTMH. I like mycobacteria, microscopes and high-throughput genetics. Currently trying to not make a fool of myself in the clinic, and prowling for postdocs.

Officially passed my Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (with distinction)!

Sometimes I wonder if it’s actually possible to be a clinician-scientist, particularly in a developing country like South Africa. When should one just make the call and attempt to go all in on science or medicine? And at what point does it become a sunk-cost fallacy?
