Unquestionably the highlight moment of my career. Humbled, privileged and grateful to have led the @AANSNeuro this past year, and been able to find human commonality and seemingly touch a fiber in the heart and mind of the audience with my message. 🙏🙏🙏
The 2025 AANS Presidential Address was a standout moment of #AANS2025, as @jacquesmorcosmd shared his inspiring vision and leadership with the neurosurgical community. #Neurosurgery
