What are people using these days as their reference manager? I’m looking for a system to help keep track of all these clinical trial publications. I want to be able to take notes on the pubs as well!

And just like that, I’ve finished my last shift of residency. These past two years have been so rich with learning, growth and friendship—I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thank you @BrighamMedRes @BrighamWomens. I’ll miss it 🥹😍

I’m moving this weekend and thinking fondly of apartments of yesteryear. One was so small the dishwasher could only be opened about 6 inches before it hit the refrigerator. One had not a single drawer! Anyways, looking forward to this next chapter!
