“Reflection is hard — but learning needs to be hard.” Powerful point from @MartinaStippler, first woman president of @CNS_Update, during her Presidential Address at #2026JCNS. MedEd requires self-assessment, analysis, and the willingness to keep growing. #MedEd #2026CNS

A little afternoon coffee talk with @CNS_Update EC family, past and present. One of best parts about global meetings like @AANSNeuro in Boston are these opportunities to reconnect #live!

Artificial Intelligence is coming to neurosurgery, whether it’s guiding our decisions, helping plan our surgeries, or guiding us as we operate on the brain. Partnering with key industry giants and leading them into our space will make this future our reality…

One more project from the @StanfordNsurg AI/ML Learning Lab utilizing Artificial Intelligence to help improve the care that we provide for patients with Spinal Deformity! Great work, team! @MDPIOpenAccess mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/3/656 #spinesurgery #deformity #artificalintelligence
In our recent work led by @AnandMed we demonstrate the prediction of adult spine deformity outcomes with computer vision and large language models. This novel success of cutting edge models in limited sized patient cohorts encourages their application throughout neurosurgery
