Are you an “Architect” or a “Scrounger” in your writing process, or maybe a little bit of both? Join Chihiro and me to talk about designing a holistic writing practice that meets your style and deadlines, especially for interdisciplinary research methods. Chihiro also talks about her efforts to promote wellness resources for graduate students and healing patients in hospital settings through music therapy. While your research doesn’t have to tie directly into real-world applications, Chihiro’s study of ancient medical notions of holistic health emphasizes the importance of weaving architectural and musical beauty into places of care.

In this episode, Dr. Yavor Metodiev delves into the anesthetic considerations that should be taken when caring for a patient with oncological disease during pregnancy. Dr. Metodiev and colleagues concisely summarize the complexities of treating patients with oncological disease, emphasizing the crucial balance between maternal and fetal safety. With the increasing incidence of oncological disease in pregnant women (1 in 2000), anesthetists are expected to encounter more of these cases, and we play a pivotal role in managing these patients during the peripartum period.
