Build an academic career from anywhere

From your first paper to your hundredth.

Weekly models and tactics for doctors and researchers who want to publish, get cited, and go further than their pedigree was meant to allow. From someone who did it.

Dear colleague,

Nobody hands you the roadmap. Not in medical school, not in residency, and certainly not if you trained far from the places that write the rules. I learned the publishing game the slow way, so you don't have to.

Every week I write one letter on the craft: how to publish more, get cited, and build a research career you own, wherever you started from.

Yours, Dimitri

How your data is handled

What you share with the assistant is not stored by AskDimitri, unless you choose to save conversations on your account. It goes to Anthropic, our AI provider, only to generate the answer. Anthropic deletes it within 30 days (longer only if it is flagged for a safety review) and does not train on it.
