If you are wondering why I'm bald, here is my story. Thanks to my family, friends, colleagues @MDAndersonNews, & support from @NAAF_org for helping me on my alopecia journey. twitter.com/MDAndersonNews…

September is Alopecia Awareness Month and this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Please help me reach my goal! support.naaf.org/fundraiser/471… #alopecia

@neciegreen This hurts my heart 😢

@bnpeyton @TODAYshow @MDAndersonNews Yes I’d love one too!

My morning routine of @TODAYshow and coffee was improved this morning with my new @MDAndersonNews research mug! Here’s to a good week before we head off to #AACR23 in Orlando! #EndCancer

If you live in Houston & have alopecia (or know someone who does), then please join @NAAF_org’s Houston support group this Saturday, March 25th at 2:30 pm. We will meet at the Dish Society on 12525 Memorial Drive. Thanks! #Alopecia

It is that time: bluebonnets at @MDAndersonNews!

@IshwariaMD @HoustonMarathon @VivekSubbiah You were a champ and powered through it all! Special shoutout to all the spectators and volunteers. The donuts from family were my dopamine hit and special kudos to the guy with Parle-G!

Our After shot! A shoulder out meant huge biomechanical inefficiencies from my arm swing asymmetry especially at my pre-injury pace. Plus, it hurt like heck! SO THANKFUL to our pacer/motivator @shamsha running her 17th🤯🤩#houhalf for keeping us steady wo aggravating injuries!

I had read “Atomic Habits” by ⁦@JamesClear⁩ when it first came out, though this podcast with ⁦@tferriss⁩ was a great refresher! My favorite quote: You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. overcast.fm/+KebsgFK6Q

"10-year dreams. 5-minute actions. Where do I want to be in 10 years? What can I do in the next 5 minutes to contribute to that outcome?" – @JamesClear. This is my new mantra for 2023!

@neciegreen @astros How long was the line to buy the merch? Need it for the parade!

JOB. FINISHED.

Gave cancer the boot! And ran into my bosses at @MDAndersonNews too! #endcancer

@kmschmeler @MelissaLoVaron @Jrodelkins @345071 @MilaPSalcedo @UTHealthSPH @MDAndersonNews @ProjectECHO Congratulations! So very proud of you!

Congrats to Doctora @MelissaLoVaron for successfully defending her PhD thesis today. We are so proud of you and lucky to work with you! @Jrodelkins @345071 @MilaPSalcedo monicapippin @UTHealthSPH @MDAndersonNews @ProjectECHO

This is the trifecta of leadership wisdom from ⁦@BreneBrown⁩, ⁦@simonsinek⁩ ⁦& ⁦@AdamMGrant⁩! And ⁦@AdamMGrant⁩ had the mic drop moment with this: Most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed. linkedin.com/posts/brenebro…

My @MDAndersonNews peeps: if you missed the talk, make sure to watch the recording! Life changing and such good life & leadership lessons.

Celebrating leadership day at @MDAndersonNews & loving what @CyWakeman is preaching! My favorite nugget: drama is emotional waste. Leaders need to facilitate good mental processes. Ask powerful questions like what would great look like?

Absolutely loved hearing @AdamMGrant speak at @MDAndersonNews today! Few takeaways: reframe how I think of imposter syndrome (it actually makes you work harder!), share costs of not changing especially in the face of uncertainty, & have confident humility.

September is Alopecia Awareness Month. Would you please consider donating a small amount to help @NAAF_org in its mission to help find a cure or acceptable treatment? Even $5 will help. Thanks! #AlopeciaAwarenessMonth support.naaf.org/fundraiser/410…

And @MDAndersonNews is #10 on this list for Top Employers for Women! This quote from @Beyonce sums up how I feel: “I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate & continue to support & take care of each other… That is power.” So very proud!

So proud to work at @MDAndersonNews where caring is baked into our DNA! #endcancer
