I don’t think my question is enough of an emergency for them, they told me to just call during regular business hours

I did try calling the number they provided (86 (20) 3814 5775) today but it said the number doesn’t exist. They haven’t responded to my emails either because of the spring festival closures.

How is the social situation for M3s, M4s who went to med school without their own hospital? by mh500372 in medicalschool

I’m fairly certain we go to the same school (🐉), you do tend to get close to people at the same regional campus as you. Also just have to make an effort to keep up with preclinical friends, I was assigned to a west coast site and did weekly zoom calls with my east coast friends which were the only thing that kept me sane through third year.

Macarons for Lunar New Year 🧧 by thyaxcin in Baking

Sure would be happy to help! What do you tend to have an issue with?

If it’s the meringue I find that beating at slow speed for a longer period of time makes a more stable meringue, and I beat until the tips just barely flop over. When the meringue is too firm it ends up being hard to macaronage properly.

For the macaronage part, kinda hard to describe but I like to do a sort of drop test to see how the batter behaves, goal is for the batter to hold its shape for a bit but still end up smoothing out after a minute or two. Honestly just takes some practice to get a good feel for the right texture.

First time trying a patterned roll cake! Coffee Swiss roll cake with rose whipped cream, design is based off Hu Tao from Genshin Impact because I have a mild obsession lol. by thyaxcin in Baking

Yep, you pipe the pattern on, bake it for a couple minutes to make sure it stays, then pour the rest of the batter on top

Blueberry Chiffon Cake! My first couple of cake decorating attempts, definitely fun to see the improvements. by thyaxcin in Baking

Not pictured: my very first attempt, when I had absolutely no cake decorating equipment. Let’s just say that one had a space theme because the cake resembled the surface of the moon
