Love this. My son goes shark fishing with his friends on the weekends and instead of freaking out I’m mostly ok with it until someone in their crew thinks they need a bigger boat.

Really excited about our new awareness campaign. Parents deserve to know the life-saving facts about epilepsy surgery!

@GMI_Canada @FarbodNiazi Wow - what a list of authors! 😍

Awesome example of a team based collaboration in pediatric neurosurgery - terrific work @FarbodNiazi !

Brain rot is real, hitting adults too. Two recent articles show that.... 1) When our phones got smart, we got dumber: ft.com/content/a8016c… 2) When people are randomly assigned to make their smartphones dumb, they get smarter #506527390" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

@TracyDixonSalaz My dear friend I am absolutely devastated for you. Holding you so damn close to my heart.

We lost our sweet Savannah to SUDEP yesterday and we are heartbroken. Go home and hug your loved ones tight.

Deeply disturbing. We all need to put down our phones.

Grateful our home is still standing. Most of our community is destroyed.

I remember feeling like I was drowning in a dark, cold, and open sea.

@la_dorkout Was an undergrad at @UCLA ‘85-‘89 and waited tables at Baxter’s. It was an absolute blast.

My daughter goes to UCLA and regularly talks about the ghost town that is Westwood and all the depressing vacant storefronts. My stories of its 1970s/'80s heyday make me feel like musty old plebian reminiscing of the glory of Rome.

Teenage boy with strep intermedius subdural empyema related to sinusitis. We have seen an explosion of subdural empyema following COVID. Challenging cases, morbidity related to venous thrombophlebitis and infarction. Many times requiring multiple washouts. @PhxChildrens @barrowpch @BarrowNeuro

@jshauptman @PhxChildrens @barrowpch @TheASPN @PedsSection @CNS_Update @AANSNeuro @AANSNeurosurg @BarrowNeuro @PESAlliance @epilepsysociety @CureEpilepsy @epilepsyaction Grateful on behalf of the HME community that you treat these children at a young age. So many parents are told to wait until the child is much older. Don’t forget to tell parents about how we can support them! epilepsysurgeryalliance.org

6 month old female with right #hemimegalencephaly and #intractableepilepsy. Underwent functional hemispherectomy @PhxChildrens @barrowpch. Hemi in infants requires particular attention paid to blood loss and repletion. Also generally the pia is very friable and subpial dissection needs to be more diligent.

Our parent support navigator program is growing! So exciting to see different at syndromes represented.

Excited to present at #COPAA2025 ❤️

As Altadenans reel from the devastation, many wonder whether their rebuilt town will retain its soul. latimes.com/california/sto…

@leslie_tarot It did not, but several houses in the street behind it did. The area is still blocked off.

Does anyone know if Superking on Lincoln Ave burnt down? My sister lives in an apartment block across from there. #AltadenaFire

A neighbor recorded this as he evacuated our neighborhood. Our city is in ashes. We are stunned. #AltadenaFire #EatonFire

@Kcpitbull816 @unlimited_ls @TheFlagGuy_ I’m so sorry this is happening. Have you sent the school a Gebser letter? undivided.io/resources/gebs…

@unlimited_ls @TheFlagGuy_ I’m going through the same situation, my child is getting relentlessly bullied by other females at school. I have no choice but to send her back. I am a single father and I will lose my job. The school is doing nothing. My daughter is depressed and act totally different now.
