“The flow of surgeons out of research is a problem that must be recognized and stopped. Translational medicine needs them too much.”

Such a special moment presenting our work at the @acsTrauma COT meeting — and honored to win 1st Place for Basic Science at the Resident and Fellow Trauma Paper Competition. Grateful to @PaulTitchenell, @PennTrauma, @pennsurgery, collaborators, and patients who made it possible.

@jawadaminmalik @doraid_jarrar @pennsurgery Good luck at your next stop!

Spent the past month at UPenn rotating in thoracic surgery, and it was an incredible journey! Immense gratitude to Dr. @doraid_jarrar and the thoracic surgery team for their mentorship and guidance. Experiencing this while exploring Philly made it truly unforgettable.

Are you using isotope tracers in your basic or clinical research? Do you want to learn how you can take this research to the next level? Do you want to find out why they call Nashville "Music City"? Come join us in November for a week of tracers and two-step!

Thrilled to officially (finally!) be Penn Trauma Trained @PennTrauma Can’t wait!

Congratulations to everyone including our own: @SaidAzouryMD, @altierim1 and @njk928

Traumatic injury is a public health challenge, but thanks to your generosity, we can support trauma leaders like Dr. @ElinoreJKaufman who are working to prevent injury and save lives. Donate to the Development Fund & help support the future of trauma care: bit.ly/3KhHVsP

Very shocked to hear that David Wasserman has died after complications from surgery. Very sudden and unexpected. A true giant of glucose metabolism and a really great guy. Very generous too. A huge loss. RIP. @DHWasserman1
