About Nils Wendel, MD
Who Are You Anyway?
Hi Substack, my name is Nils1. I thought about being pseudonymous but I’m not that careful about that sort of stuff and from a societal-norm perspective I think it’s important that I’m willing to own my opinions in a public way.
I grew up in New York’s Hudson Valley, which is emphatically not “upstate New York” and I will argue with you about this. For those of you who care about credentials: I graduated from a public high school, got my BSc cum laude in neurobiology and behavior from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, spent 2 years doing research of no real consequence at Weill Cornell in NYC, and got my MD from Penn State College of Medicine.
I am currently a 4th year psychiatry resident in Boston with uncertain plans post-graduation2.
