1、Jennifer Weiss's journey to medicine began when she was a child, seeing doctors care for her father, who had heart disease. This experience left a lasting impression on her, and she decided to train as a doctor at 16. Although she enjoyed helping others, Jennifer soon realized she wanted to have a bigger influence on others. She wanted to do more than just take patients to the hospital.
During her college years, Jennifer studied human biology, health, and society, while also volunteering as a doctor and firefighter. She noticed that many people badly needed to get healthcare, which inspired her to create the EMS Equity Project. This project helped patients in Ithaca find healthcare resources. These experiences led her to go for a job in medicine, and she finally joined Weill Cornell Medical College.
At the White Coat Ceremony, Jennifer and her classmates received their white coats and stethoscopes (听诊器). The ceremony marked the start of their medical education. Jennifer, who would be the first in her family to become a doctor, saw the white coat as a symbol (象征) of her responsibility for providing comfort and care to others. She believed that medicine was not just about learning but also about being kind to others.
The ceremony was also a reminder that becoming a doctor requires both professional knowledge and a sense of balance in life. As Dr Joseph Safdieh, a medical educator at Weill Cornell Medicine, said, students should aim to be the best one of themselves as doctors, not someone else. Students, with their different backgrounds and experiences, are ready to take on the challenges of the medical field.

2、The BookBrowse Online Book Club
What it is
The BookBrowse Community Forum (论坛) is a community for book lovers, many of whom are BookBrowse members. It works like a traditional online forum, with a section set aside for book club discussions from the BookBrowse Online Book Club. Each month, BookBrowse hosts some online book discussions on different kinds of books.
How it works
BookBrowse typically has several books discussed each month. All visitors are invited to join the discussions — you just sign up for a free account (账户) and jump in with your views. Each book discussion starts with questions from the BookBrowse's moderator (版主), but you're welcome to add your own.
How books are selected
Every month, BookBrowse creates posts where members recommend (推荐) books, and then everyone can vote for their favorites. The book with the most votes is chosen for the next discussion. Discussions stay up until the participation dies down (usually after 6+ weeks).So if you read a book a bit late, you can still add your thoughts.

As lots of members read widely, it's also a great place for recommendations.
