"What was true yesterday may no longer be true today. What is true today might not necessarily be true tomorrow." "La vérité d'hier n'est pas celle d'aujourd'hui. La vérité d'aujourd'hui, n'est pas forcément celle de demain."- Jean-Claude Mira, professeur de biologie 1995 Amphithéâtre Claude Bernard, Université Paris 5 René Descartes. These are words of wisdom from my biology teacher back in 1995, when I was a first year med student. This struck a chord with me and till this day I am applying this principle to anything I learn or unlearn. - To all the badass teachers we encounter in our lives, THANK YOU!!
