Brendon Herring, MD PhD

Many residents of Alibamu (Alabama) don't know that the city of Tuscaloosa, home to the University of Alabama, is named for one of my ancestors, the Muscogee chief Tuskalusa. His name means "Black Warrior" in Muskogean. A thread.

Congrats to all the other #doubledocs @UABMSTP on their amazing matches! So proud of this group and incredibly privileged to have gone through this with you guys! Special s/o to @alanacjones_ for keeping us organized this past few years 😂 @VUMC_Medicine is lucky to have you!!

After almost 9 years with these #geris #doubledocs, I'm elated to announce that I matched as a Clinician Investigator at @MayoClinic! Can't wait to continue training in medicine & oncology with some of the best in the world! @MayoMN_IMRES @OncoThor @CaThompsonMD #Match2025

As always, awesome work going on in the neuroendocrine world @UIowaCancer! Congrats @UGrewalMD!

We are so grateful and excited to be at our first @HealingNET1 conference in San Antonio! @brendonherring and I are looking forward to a fantastic weekend 🦓🔬

@DrEllenEaton @UABMSTP @theNCI Thank you!! 4 years in the making 😂

@UABMSTP @brendonherring @theNCI Congrats @brendonherring

Happy Tuesday! We’re elated to announce our latest group of MSTPs to obtain pre-doctoral fellowship awards. We’re incredibly proud of you all! 🎉 #uabmstp

@SamSpellicy Every year whenever I visited my aunt and uncle for the holidays (they raised me), I reviewed their med records and implored my aunt (heavy smoker) to quit & get her screening coloniscopies. She passed of colon cancer ~ 3 years ago. I only wish I'd pushed her harder.

Over Thanksgiving, I talked to my grandma about her code status, power of attorney, and any care wishes she had. Although it might not be the most pleasant holiday conversation, it’s usually a good time to check in and ensure everyone is on the same page.

@MatthewDCheung @UABMSTP Hate I missed it but have seen nothing but praise from the attendees- great job organizing such a large & successful meeting!

What a weekend! Honored to host the Southeastern Medical Scientist Symposium with @uabmstp! 180 attendees from 21 institutions. Lots of great science, networking, and fun. Thanks to all the attendees, fellow trainees, and faculty for supporting this student run conference!

Lingering statement from the @CureNETs NET Models consortium during @TalyaDayton's 🌟 day 1 review of current -oid models (organ/sphere/tumor): more models than ever, but answerable q's are limited by each one! Stable immortal lines obviously critical but can't be our only tools!

@NTrikalinos "Something something highly heterogeneous.."

@CaitlinAamodt Hmmm the grants that fund my training (md-phd) stipulate I maintain 40 hrs/week minimum which in most spheres is considered full-time employment. I'd wager this case in the same in UC system. After all these "negotiations" the language here seems quite deliberate

😭 Not the UC Provost claiming that postdocs and grad students are only "part-time" workers. 😭😭😭 #FairUCNow

@SimonAprilMonn @curenet @TalyaDayton @cives_mauro @PoHienEar @cros_jerome At the airport for my flight to Boston now- so excited to be heading to the meeting in-person after these past few years!! #NETRF2022

This dummy is wishing you all a happy Veteran's Day! Also, please don't mind the lack of a vent circuit on my patient's face mask here..(Budget cuts)

This one's a little late to horrify people for Halloween.. but I accidentally just ran a job on the login node of the supercomputer that I couldn't get to work all evening yesterday.. And it finally worked! Worse still, I'm thinking about doing it again... #spooky

@NTrikalinos Pulled my tibialis posterior (remember that muscle? Me either..) setting up for a squat at the gym a while back. Didn't even have the weight on me yet. We weren't meant to live this way 😂

When I'm not in the lab, I'm usually working my second job serving up justice on behalf of my deific egyptian familiar.. or deep in conversation 🤔🎃 #MoonKnight #Halloween

@RaisBahrami @NANETS1 @JBartRose @UABHeersink @AmericanAir It takes a village! 😂

@brendonherring @NANETS1 @JBartRose … on the same flight to BHM with the award winner who has the check stowed in first-class carry-on closet to get it home to @UABHeersink unscathed. Thanks @AmericanAir!

I've got 99 problems and getting through airport security with this giant novelty check is one I'm not complaining about 😂😂 thank you to @NANETS1 for my favorite meeting EVER and for this huge honor!

@HalletJulie @rachaelguenter @JBartRose @KEMcElroyMD @UABSurgery @OncologyUab @uabmedicine Thank you Dr. Hallet, it was so nice to finally meet!!

@rachaelguenter @brendonherring @JBartRose @KEMcElroyMD @UABSurgery @OncologyUab @uabmedicine Congrats @brendonherring !!

The best end to the best conference! 🎉 so proud of @brendonherring for winning best oral pres, much deserved! #NANETS2022 was an incredible experience and I am honored to be apart of the #NETCommunity 🦓 @JBartRose @KEMcElroyMD @UABSurgery @OncologyUab @uabmedicine

Congrats to @brendonherring for his wonderful talk discussing early data describing molecular drivers of racial disparities in pNETs at #NANETS2022!

So grateful to @NANETS1 for allowing me to highlight our work and this amazing #NET community @NTrikalinos! I couldn't have ended up in a more supportive and collaborative field!
