An "A" for Zed
Remember the flurry and fury in the blogosphere last month when Rajan Zed delivered a Hindu prayer to open the Senate on July 12? A highly rated YouTube clip, a top viral video, and thousands of news articles later, Zed humbly recounts his experience for us in a guest article to the Washington Post.
Let me add my sentiments to the long list of well-wishers: Thank you for bravely continuing your prayer for understanding in the ugly face of intolerance.
Hope for Pandora is a place for a conversation about science and medicine. This site is one attempt to build a dialogue about science, medicine and society. You'll also find plenty of vignettes about my experiences in graduate school and as a medical student en route to becoming an academic emergency physician. I welcome and appreciate comments.

I'm an emergency medicine resident at Yale-New Haven Hospital. My academic interests include medical humanities and the social and political influences on science and medicine. At home, I like to garden and tackle do-it-yourself projects.
