How has being a History graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"It has made me a better: physician, editor of papers, author of scientific and lay papers, storyteller, listener, explainer, and person."

What advice would you give students in Duke's History programs? 

"Go to office hours, talk to the professors and teachers after class. Ask them about things you don't understand. Ask them for advice. I wish I did more of that. I would have learned so much more."
