41 Twice as Hard

Her Royal Science

In this episode, we speak with Jasmine Brown, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. She previously completed a Bachelor's in Neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis, after which she obtained a Master of Philosophy at Oxford University. During our chat, we discuss her phenomenal book, Twice as Hard: The Stories of Black Women Who Fought to Become Physicians, from the Civil War to the 21st Century. We then touch upon the major take-aways of her book and chat about how she actively prevents burn-out during med school.
