    First of all, you’re so handsome. You’re like an eye popping singer singing a beautiful song thru melody of science. Anyways, I agree when you compared the characters we know of in entertainment media and how we can take that approach toward the same in viruses, bacteria, general terms to memorize-so on. It shocked me as it affirm my thought a few days ago comparing memorizing all these terms as of like Pokemon , even tho I don’t really watch Pokemon but it made sense in what I was conveying to self. You gave such a good elaboration, it was so insightful and hits a lot of close points.

    Is it wise to use inter leaving after you have built a foundation of the classification of the microbes,you know,like the video you made on learning Arv's and antimicrobials together so maybe trying to learn bits of every organism?

I have an issue, it takes me a lot of time to cover topics in consequence, at midterme, I find myself overwhelmed and I start craming for my exams whithout realy understanding my lessons. Have you got any tip to improve learning speed ? I apologize If I have made any mistake, my english is not fluent haha

    Understanding is absolutely essential to build a memorization base,but eventually you have to cram Before reading any topic just scan first Aid so you know exactly what you should be spending time on to understand According to me Crush Step 1,Costanzo physiology or Oxford handbooks have been my favourites during med school years since they are excellent at familiarising subjects
