Because you've been here for 16 years. Oh, my goodness. Has it been that long?

That's no wonder my son says that he's American now. How long has he been? He moved when he was one. We almost went back to the UK in 2020 during the pandemic. So I got offered a position at the University of Cambridge. We were all like, let's go. And then he said, no, I am American. Oh, he really planted a flag, literally.

We went back when you said 2008. So that last year, I finished my PhD and I was doing my postdoc down at Duke. We were living in Chapel Hill. And then you get one year of this extra, you can stay. And then the second year of my postdoc, my family didn't get visas. So they went back to London and I was going back and forth.

It's about four hours between. Oh, gosh. And you're doing that at the same time? Occasionally. It hasn't worked that well. Now, just one semester in one place and one semester in another place because going back and forth is too much. That's a lot.

I was one when I came to England. I grew up my whole life there and also in Scotland. So my dad first came to England from India and did his PhD, then went back to India and then brought the family.

So in our community, medicine is one of the best things you can do, right? So I had the grades. I was a good kid. I asked my dad when I was young, what does my name mean? And he said in Sanskrit, Sunita means good. Oh, wow. And so I mostly lived up to that. I was a good girl in their eyes. So I did exactly what I was told. I did all my homework as expected.
