Meghan Rothenberger, MD

I am an infectious disease physician at the Minneapolis VA, where I have the good fortune of working with amazing patients and colleagues. My non-clinical time is spent in medical education and HIV community work. My favorite things are playing outside with my family (I have 3 kids, a husband and a neurotic rescue dog), drinking good coffee and/or good beer (it's a tie) with people I love, and making little adventures happen on regular old days.

Peter Park

A Korean-American from Southern California, I have a lovely wife and two cats. Since high school theatre, I have been integrating my passions for writing and performance into medicine. Now, a second-year medical student at TCU School of Medicine, I am interested in Internal Medicine and Narrative Medicine. To relax, I go bouldering, play video games with my wife, or listen to podcasts like The Nocturnists!

I'm a psychiatrist and writer interested in climate psychiatry, imagining radical futures, and the impact of systems of oppression on mental health. I would like to thank my husband, Scott; my therapist, Katharina; my Nocturnists story coach, Kristin; my family, friends, keikis, colleagues, and patients; and tonight's audience. My understanding of enmeshment is informed by the work of Kenneth Adams and Bethany Webster. I'm looking for new friends and colleagues in the Twin Cities, so if it feels right, drop me a line at heybrownie@protonmail.com.
