Life update (for those who don't go into the bragging thread- this is a mini-brag thread)

Woo hoo! Congratulations on your fantastic news.

Congratulations!!

Wow I wasn’t expecting this level of support. You guys are so awesome. Thank you all so much :smiley:

I am still waiting to hear on History & Women’s Studies also at U of M. I’m heavily leaning towards AmCult though.

So darned happy for you. Thanks for posting this where I saw it. :slight_smile:

You SO deserve this! All your hard work has paid off. Fully funded – that is hugely impressive in these days of limited resources. Many, many congrats.

Very cool! What a journey, Dr. Romani!

So well deserved. Congratulations!!!

Go Bllue! A big congrats.

Romani, we hope you will still have time to periodically post in the Cafe. I enjoy your contributions, and I am sure that many posters will second what I said. :slight_smile:

Congratulations!! That’s wonderful!

What a wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations!

Thank you again, everyone.

@bunsenburner of course I’ll be around. I’ve tried breaking my CC addiction enough times that I’ve learned just to accept it as part of life.

That’s wonderful. If the vaccine thread is still going when you graduate you’ll be able to post as a doctor! :wink:

LOL- YDS, that literally made me laugh out loud.

I actually gave a co-presentation about the project that I will continue working on for my PhD this past Wednesday. It was to a group of social epidemiologists who weren’t familiar with this area of history. One of the things that they brought up was how these types of historical traumas influenced modern-day distrust of medicine. It is something that I am very interested in but in reference to repro health rather than vaccines. They’re all interconnected for poor communities and for communities of color.

(The anti-vaxxers are a whole 'nother can of worms but it’s fascinating how interconnected everything is.)

Congrats and well done :-h

I am very excited for you. Great job! And you’ll start as a married woman. Quite a lot going on in your life over the next several months.

True. On the bright side, I will have the summer mostly off to deal with wedding stuff and I don’t have to worry about scheduling a new job around it. It’s wonderful!

The sad thing is, one of my first thoughts was “My partner and I are going to have health insurance continually for the next 5 years!”

Romani, it sure is funny as to the first thing our mind focuses on with good news. Having medical insurance for 5 years is indeed wonderful! Congrats again!

Yeah!!! Congratulations!!!
