I remember Ethan Shevach talking about how he reviewed this paper in @J_Immunol and only accepted it because he thought “why not let this crazy idea through”, though all reviewers were highly skeptical. Not all Nobel Prize papers have to be in glam journals; they likely require a stroke of luck in review too!

@MatthewSunMD Important study on disparities in meningioma surgery. Did you find ways to improve outcomes for patients with public insurance?

Our lab recently published "Disparities in meningioma resection outcomes: a retrospective analysis of patients with public versus private insurance" in the Journal of Neuro-Oncology link.springer.com/article/10.100… @UTSWNeurosurg @utswcancer @UTSWBrain @IshavShukla

Congratulations to #Steve_McKnight for winning the Lasker Award! 2 years in a row for the @UTSWMedCenter. #james_chen. Testament to the high quality research happening in Dallas.

An #immunotherapy option for malignant #meningioma? Check out @MatthewSunMD's encouraging new results using TCR-transduced T-cells to target NY-ESO-1 @JNeurooncol! link.springer.com/article/10.100… @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWBrain #Neurosurgery

Department Chair, @MichaelLimMD and his lab made the cover of @JNeurooncol, investigating the emerging interface of hormonal exposures and PIK3CA-mutant meningiomas, and proposed a paradigm shift in reclassifying meningiomas by oncogenic signaling within hormonal contexts.

Check out newly published guidelines for functional #pituitary tumors including Cushing's disease and #acromegaly. Was honored to be part of this great multidisciplinary team! #Neurosurgery #Endocrinology #MedTwitter

How can we reduce systemic disparity in outcomes for #meningioma resection? Drs. Sam Barnett, @MatthewSunMD, @DarshShah25 & @JeffTraylorMD analyze public vs. private insurance as an outcome predictor in @JNeurooncol. link.springer.com/article/10.100… @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWBrain #Neurosurgery

We just published this study evaluating an optimal cut-off for MIB-1 index in meningiomas: @UTSWNeurosurg @utswcancer link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Honored to receive the NREF & Andrew T. Parsa Young Clinician Investigator Award! Thankful for my mentors! @UTSWNeurosurg @utswcancer @UTSWBrain @UCLANsgy @A_whiteh @bradlega @aguilera_md @drpouratian @jacquesmorcosmd @IsaacYangMD

If we want to thoughtfully reduce NIH indirect costs, we need to reduce the federal regulatory burden that causes universities to hire so many administrators to remain compliant.
