Cancer Community!
After years as a cancer researcher, my experience as a breast cancer patient is teaching me an entirely new perspective. This section is about what I am learning about the cancer experience. While this section focuses on my personal experience, it is intended to be more broad than one type of cancer experience and to provide information for people who want to learn about cancer from a patient perspective. My goal is to provide information without the nonspecific, scary details and complications highlighted in much of my own reading. Overall personal wellness is the goal of the cancer area of this blog. It should not replace professional medical advice.
Study Smarter!
Ideas for study techniques that work are here! I have worked in education for over 25 years and know that it's worth it to think about designing the best study time for your mind. Methods that keep you on task and focused will improve your learning. This section also discusses how we learn and how to handle difficult instructors. Study smarter, not harder!
