My first first-author paper has hit the internet. Pretty neat. Much thanks to the mentorship and assistance provided by Joshua Samuels, MD, MPH (he/him) and Dr. Samuel. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36114998/

Nothing is more flawed in human anatomy than the most vital organs not getting their own protective bony structure. For all the things the kidneys do, leaving them all vulnerable in the abdomen is a poor choice.

Yes, we want wins but I think the thing every college fanbase deeply craves is for its players to care as much about the alma mater as much as we do. Ja’Kobe Walter is that in spades and I can’t wait to see where he carries the Baylor flag next.

Got bored and perused our insurance claims for the last year. Our daughters 4 day hospitalization for RSV cost $28k...for 4 days of hi-flow, an X-ray, a viral panel, and some Albuterol. It's insane that our healthcare costs this much.

An important read for pediatric subspecialties. I think improved compensation and a shortened training track would improve interest in pediatric subspecialties. Academia needs to get over itself with the research, we need clinicians. Research can come secondarily.

Excited to start my career with BCM/TCH, where I received care when I was a child. I'm also now colleagues with my former nephrologist. Funny how life works out sometimes.

That last question is something I've asked often and something our field should address for a field largely siloed to academia. Research is great, but not for everyone, so there needs to be better ways for career development outside of the research academia loves so much.

We could completely eliminate cervical cancer in our lifetime but antivaxxers want to make that impossible because they think children should still get preventable diseases (including cancer)
