For many undergraduate students interested in medicine, research is something squeezed in between classes, jobs, and studying.

This summer, College of Charleston student Reid Barker gets to focus on it full time!

Through a St. Baldrick’s Foundation fellowship at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, Reid is working in the lab of Dr. Casey Langdon, contributing to pediatric cancer research.

It’s an opportunity that supports hands-on learning while also advancing work that could one day improve treatment options for children facing cancer.

If science ever feels hard to follow, communication is often the missing piece.

At MUSC, graduate students are learning how to turn complex research into clear, accessible communication.

Through courses like “Scientific Writing as Persuasion,” along with opportunities such as the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, students are building practical skills to help their research reach and resonate more broadly.

This Mother’s Day, we’re sharing a story from our MUSC community that may feel very familiar for many.

Pooja Pradeep completed her PhD while becoming a mother for the first time, navigating both journeys side by side.

She shared, “This is my first Mother’s Day as a mother, and my heart is full of love and gratitude.”

Today we celebrate her and all the moms across MUSC who are doing incredible clinical work while raising families of their own.

Nurses touch every part of a patient’s care.

They answer questions, explain what to expect, and help people navigate uncertainty.

At the MUSC College of Nursing, future nurses build these skills through hands-on training and real clinical experience focused on patient-centered care.

This National Nurses Week, we are proud to recognize the nurses who carry that preparation into hospitals, clinics, and communities across our health system and beyond.
