About the authors

Adaira Landry isn't just another professor - she's a mentoring maestro at Harvard Medical School. With a resume that reads like a who's who of top schools (UC Berkeley, UCLA, NYU), Landry's all about helping students and early-career docs find their groove.

Resa E. Lewiss is the real deal when it comes to medicine. After cutting her teeth at Brown and UPenn's med school, she scored a sweet gig as a Howard Hughes Research Scholar at the NIH. But Lewiss didn't stop there - she went on to become an emergency ultrasound whiz at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center and even led the Emergency Ultrasound Division at the University of Colorado. Talk about impressive!
