The ivory tower isn't for everyone.

That's where this group comes in. Doctorates without Borders holds two types of Meetups. Once a month, we meet for an Out-of-Academia Workshop, which features a self-assessment exercise and an opportunity to discuss the ins and outs of moving into non-academic employment.  …

People are often surprised at how different a Laughter Club is from what they expect. Generally, people feel happy after a laughing session, and some report reduced pain or feel clearer in their minds. Laughter offers a multitude of benefits to the body and mind-- and it works even if the laughter isn't genuine. Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian doctor and student of Yoga, began research on the health benefits of laughter in 1995. Dr. Kataria was impressed by Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Ill …

Is your spouse or partner in medical training or a practicing physician with an all-consuming schedule? Help us grow a local network of people who understand your unique lifestyle. I decided to start this group for the spouses and significant others of medical residents, fellows and med students (and physicians) because my husband completed a 5-year residency in general surgery in June 2011 and started a 1-year fellowship. We moved from Minneapolis to Boston and will likely be moving again next …

This is a group for mixed couples where one of the members is Jewish. I see this as a group where we share ideas on how we blend our cultures, and deal with our families. Stuff like that. I recently finished my Doctoral thesis on counseling with Jewish Intercultural couples and families. I would personally love to see if others would find my ideas helpful, but I would also just love to hear what others are doing. I don't like to call it interfaith, because beliefs may or may not be an issu …

This is a group for learning more about treating disease and illness - no matter how severe or minor - with food and nutrition. My life has been improved incredibly by making nutritional changes to my diet. As I've learned more and more about nutrition and disease, I've discovered not only how much more there is to learn for me, but also I really wanted to share what I've learned already, and encourage this discussion to happen on a wider basis. And also of course, there are so many resources an …

Your child does not have to be diagnosed as ADD or ADHD to attend, just exhibiting symptoms.
