A podcast about life in science and medicine. We are four physician-scientist trainees trying to discover the how and the why behind some of the most successful scientists, physicians, and physician-scientists. This podcast is not focused on the research itself, but rather on the process behind it. Our discussions center on mentorship, grantsmanship, leadership, etc. We hope you enjoy!

    Samuel David Burciaga - Represent

    Samuel David Burciaga, a first-generation Mexican American, earned his Biology degree from the University of Minnesota and is currently in the first year of his Immunology PhD at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Motivated by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, he sees scientific research as a practical tool to unravel complex problems. His academic journey is fueled by a passion for groundbreaking research and a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Samuel values collaboration and mentorship, understanding the importance of representation in the scientific community. Beyond academia, Samuel appreciates the collaborative culture at CU Anschutz, which has become home over the past year as his partner completes her medical residency. His aspiration to impact first-generation college students and the Latino community reflects a commitment to leaving a meaningful mark in the Immunology Program.

    Geoffrey Connors, MD - Run Differently

    Dr. Connors is the Program Director of the University of Colorado Internal Medicine Residency Program, the Vice Chair for Education in the Department of Medicine, and an Associate Professor of Medicine in the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. He earned his Bachelor’s degree at the University of Michigan, his MD from Tulane, did residency and a chief year at the University of Colorado, and fellowship in pulm/crit at Johns Hopkins before joining the faculty at Yale. He moved to the University of Colorado in 2017 and has led the internal medicine residency program since that time. It is apparent in speaking with Dr. Connors that for him, medical education is more of a calling than a career – and he has spearheaded progressive reforms at the residency level during his tenure. These include the formation of a 4+4 schedule, building in research time for residents, and doing away with 28-hour call and extended duration shifts. Today, we discuss the past, present, and future of medical education and our training infrastructure, how it can and should change, and how to continually find joy in academic medicine and education.
