Shout out to the man at the BWI TSA checkpoint who just saw me in a good mask & asked if I’m a doc, then when I said yes asked if I’m an intern. Y’all, I was an intern in 1999! In case you needed 1 more reason to #WearAMask, you’ll look a quarter-century younger. 🤣 #MedTwitter

Dr. Alexa Canady was the first black woman to become a neurosurgeon in 1981. She also co-invented a device to treat fluid buildup in the brain. #WomensHistoryMonth

Thank you @MarlenaDM! I would love to make our studies available at other centers. Dr. Kalinsky and I have discussed collaborations and we will continue to look for ways to make this happen. In the meantime we will continue efforts to make our findings broadly available!

Anne dedicated the last decade of her life, living w MBC, to advocacy, & made an impact that will remain - & grow! - for years to come. What an honor to have been by her side from the start of the Patient-Centered Dosing Initiative, & be leading it now. therightdose.org/in-memoriam

To work on behalf of underserved single mothers living with #metastaticbreastcancer is a gift. To have the support of those you hold in the highest respect is just surreal. Thank you @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse and @rosadelauro #bidencancermoonshot
We are humbled, a little speechless and extremely honored @flotus would take the time to recognize our work with #PatientNavigation! It has been a privilege to share information and ideas on our initiative with @whitehouse. #bidencancermoonshot @robertalom3
