This is my husband. He means business. He will fight for our children, our families, our friends. No one should feel unsafe in their schools, their clubs or their places of worship. We need new leadership NOW. #Enough @MomsDemand #SendADoctorToTheHouse #MayTheFactsBeWithYouALL

This is the 12th school shooting in 2018 - in 32 days. As a dad of 3, no parent should fear sending our kids to our school. The lack of action (or even discussion) from our leaders is unacceptable. Our elected leaders should lead or get out of the way.

I love educating the public about #ovariancancer - knowledge is power. But we must emphasize my last point in this article - seek care from an expert - outcomes are better when women are treated by high volume centers like @MDAndersonNews #gyncsm

Intraoperative imaging for #ovariancancer is an incredible unmet need to allow us to identify active tumor after therapy- pafolacianine sodium allows for identification of folate receptor alpha - which is highly expressed in #ovariancancer - quite intriguing!!! #ASCO21 #gyncsm
