One of the best parts of my job at is co-coordinating our cardiology course with @EduCaitorPharmD. She truly is a brilliant, organized, and creative genius in the classroom. It was a thrill today to see her honored as the Bertha Rolfe Teacher of the Year @VCUPharmacy

I recently read about man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven. Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They

I would contend that the printer industry failed us as a generation. Have you encountered a printer in the last 20 years that is easy to set up and use, relatively affordable, and just consistently works without constant maintenance and fussing? I have not!
Millennials got one thing wrong — not having printers in our homes.

Just another daily reminder why most of my #heroes are teachers.
Broke up a fight today. (Doesn't happen often.) But this one was different - a student came to me during passing time to let me know there was a fight in the boys bathroom. I went to the door, sent in a male student to confirm, which he did, and then I charged in. That's a first.

It was rather emotional for me to present #AHA2023 the results of this phase II trial with Goflikicept, 15 years after enrolling the 1st patient in the 1st anakinra STEMI trial (VCU-ART) @bvantassell @UVACVRC @VCUHealthHeart @CardioUva
