Incredible week at #NASBS2026 in San Diego, presenting research, meeting people whose papers I've been reading for years, and taking it all in as someone applying to neurosurgery next cycle. Couldn't ask for a better crew to rep @OU_Neurosurgery with! @NASBSorg @kz_neurosurgery

Our new paper on the translabyrinthine approach is out, an operative & educational video resource designed to support neurosurgery residents in learning this skull base technique. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41694713/

Serious vibes from this scene came to my mind while I was teaching my #RadOnc resident the intricacies of treating medically intractable #TrigeminalNeuralgia with #GammaKnife #Radiosurgery — passing on the knowledge that my mentor Dr. Gordon Watson (#RIP) taught me at @IUradonc.
