Did a marathon with my daughter today. She crushed me. My times continue to decrease yearly. & that’s okay. Because at some point, running stops being about speed. It’s about showing up. About moving, aging, and still doing the thing you love. You don’t beat time. You run with it

As a woman in surgery, I’ve been told there are things I “can’t” do. But strength isn’t defined by size or strength, it’s defined by adaptability, creativity, and endurance. We find ways to make it work, to hold that retractor, to maintain perfect posture for hours.

My admiration for her is limitless. @GavittWoodard I suspect we are not alone in this sentiment!
Amazing luck to catch up with my favorite and the most amazing surgical role model Nancy Ascher!! ❤️ 🤩🤩🤩 Made the whole trip to #ACS2025 worth it! Dr. Ascher is very appropriately being honored as an “Icon in Surgery” tomorrow. She is the greatest and it’s well deserved!!

In med school, I learned that Huntington's disease was one of the most devastating inherited conditions. It caused progressive neurological decline, starting around age 30. There was no treatment. Now, Huntington's has been treated for first time. This is why we fund science.
