Hi, I’m JT.
I’m a junior doctor with a passion for Public Health, Science Communication, and Health Tech.
I am a curious self-learner where I love to go down internet rabbit holes late into the night.
In my spare time, I’m currently focused on achieving the elusive front split and estoy aprendiendo español (1000 days and counting on Duolingo!).
Projects & Interests
First Principles of Medicine.
1PM — A medical podcast where we ask each other the stupid questions we were too embarrassed to ask the consultants on ward rounds.
Decades.
John & I engage in a discussion on the key people, themes, and topics that defined our favourite decades.
Effective Studying.
While studying for the UWA MD, we created 38,500 custom-made Anki flashcards.
Anki is a powerful program that combines the effective study principles of ‘Deliberate Practice’ and ‘Spaced Repetition’.
Science Communication.
On Dare to Know, I creatively explain complex topics in an entertaining way.
Effective Altruism.
After learning about the EA movement, I pledged to give 5% of my income to effective charities.
Since 2021, I have presented a 5-minute talk to medical professionals, discussing how we can maximise our impact in helping others.
