I am very excited to announce the launch of the newest blog on our network, This May Hurt a Bit, written by Shara Yurkiewicz, a third-year student at Harvard Medical School. If the last name is familiar, it's because you have already been reading her younger sister's blog here on the network. They will both write about the practice of medicine from the perspective of medical students. You can read Shara's past writing at the old, PLOS Blogs version of the blog.

The new blog, This May Hurt a Bit, launched earlier today. Go to the first post and say Hello (or Hello back) to Shara.
