Cue “What Dreams Are Made Of,” because we are traveling to Italy in this wonderful episode featuring my classmate Alessandro and his partner, Megan! Alessandro shares what it has been like immigrating from Italy to the US, and Megan talks about her experience visiting all of Alessandro’s family in Italy. Megan then explains some of the awesomeness that is genetic counseling and bioethics! And as Alessandro and Megan approach the end of their 2-years of long-distance, they reflect on the challenges and successes of their relationship. They highlight the importance of supporting each other through waves of life and a career. Finally, we discuss how essential it is to nurture in-person friendships, even (and especially) when you miss your long-distance partner. Enjoy!
