Good morning from San Francisco!! People cheering in the streets!! 🎉💙🎉💙

Post a picture YOU took of San Francisco. Just a pic

@Chase_Senior Keep going past the Chase Center along the water. There are several new parks in the Dog Patch, will add about a mile each way.

For tomorrow morning, I’m thinking Union Square, to the Ferry Building, run along the Embarcadero, to Oracle Park and the Chase Center. Good choice? I’m a little tight on time, so I can’t hit the Golden Gate Bridge. Appreciate all the great recommendations!

@jakescottMD Thank you for posting this @jakescottMD All week I’ve been thinking about a patient I cared for during peds residency in the mid 90’s. A healthy teenager with meningococcal meningitis, alert, talking to us on admission, treated with appropriate antibiotics, dead 48 hours later.

The meningococcal vaccine just got moved to "shared clinical decision-making" on the new CDC schedule. This is one of the infections I feared most during my training. Here's what it is, why it's often confused with "meningitis," and what this policy shift will mean in practice. 🧵

An inspiring keynote lecture by @UCSFChildrens pediatric neuro-oncologist Sabine Mueller, MD, PhD, on her work with @PNOC_kids to launch international clinical trials of effective combination therapies for children diagnosed with #DIPG and #DMG. #UCSFProud #SNO2025

Team Beans ran the NYC Marathon for the 3rd year in a row in memory of my daughter, Francesca “Bean” Kaczynski, who died of brain cancer at 9 months old on Christmas Eve 2020. Beans was bold, curious, and so full of joy—she loved Elmo, balloons, and her cat . Even in the hospital, she smiled and her huge brown eyes lit up every room. We’ve raised $34K so far in her honor, you can donate here: danafarber.jimmyfund.org/site/TR?fr_id=…

I am honored to receive the Hower Award from the Child Neurology Society, an award representing not only personal achievement, but the collective journey of many extraordinary people who shaped my path, working together to make a difference for those with rare disease

Congrats @WinsonHoNsgy to be Corey Raffel MD PHD endowed professor in pediatric neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF . Grateful for Dr. Raffel’s generous support for pediatric brain cancer research!

@ChildrensAL Happy Birthday @ChildrensAL 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you from Children's of Alabama for letting us be there for your milestones and for being there for ours. Yesterday, you helped us celebrate our 114th birthday! But the fun isn't over yet.🥳 Celebrate with us: childrensal.org/celebrate

After doctors found a tumor in 3-year-old Roger's brain, @UCSF_PBC's Dr. @WinsonHoNsgy treated it w/ a minimally invasive laser procedure, which "can turn a risky surgery into something fairly routine, where the kid wakes up feeling fine," Dr. Ho says. ucsfh.org/3HjsuTR

Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) need care that evolves with them. Read Aaron Baum's story to learn how a new adult clinic at @UCSFHospitals is helping patients manage the symptoms of this lifelong genetic condition: braintumorcenter.ucsf.edu/news/providing… #NFAwarenessMonth

Fun times at @NeuroOnc #PedsSNO2025 with the UCSF team! Congratulations to @gretapengmd for an amazing presentation about the @chadtough National DMG Tumor Board too! Grateful to work with this group every day.

Early AM @NeurosurgUCSF grand rounds on #NF1 given by @VasuLabUCSF - truly awesome translational work & grateful to be working together with so many people, especially @5Reddys, in building our #NF program at @UCSFHospitals. #EndNF

A big congratulations to @ucsf neurosurgeon and scientist @herveyjumper on being honored with the Mitchel S. Berger, MD Endowed Professorship! 🎉 @UCSFHospitals @UCSFCancer #UCSFProud

The proposed Continuing Resolution bill, up for vote today, cuts Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) by 57%. CDMRP is one of our nation’s most important investments in med research including #cancer (pediatric, #nf ), #autism, #substanceabuse, #chronicpain

Too many children with cancer face barriers to life-saving care. At UCSF Pediatrics, @drlenawine is tackling these disparities head-on, from improving AML outcomes to addressing financial hardships, so every child gets the care they deserve. Learn how: bit.ly/41lCfqU

Catastrophic research funding cuts continue - this time w/ the DoD’s proposed reduction of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs by $859 million (57%). These programs are critical for rare cancers,TBI, spinal cord injuries & disorders affecting service members.

A threat to science anywhere is a threat to life everywhere! #StandUpForScience Birmingham, AL @IndivisibleTeam

Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem
