Very excited about this paper after a rough start! Grant application to @ASGE for this project was not funded. Abstract to #DDW2020 was rejected. Updated abstract was oral presentation @DDWMeeting 2021. #persistencepaysoff @LeifSaager @ZachSmithGI @JohnVargoMD

Proud alumnus of one of the premiere endoscopy programs in the US. The track record speaks for itself. Must also mention non-Twitter alumni (some big hitters): Sachin Wani, Greg Cote, John Maple, Neil Gupta, Larissa Fujii-Lau, Eileen Janec, Jeff Easler, Stephen Hasak....
