As I continue my studies, I’ve developed a strong interest in how environmental factors impact human health. This curiosity became personal in 2023 when my dad was diagnosed with MG. Within just two weeks, my dad went from working part-time to being confined to a wheelchair, as MG rapidly weakened his already compromised leg muscles. In my search for answers, I came across an article in the National Library of Medicine that suggested a potential link between autoimmune diseases like MG and environmental disasters. This personal experience has shaped my career goals.
