This is, without a doubt, one of most thoughtful reviews I have read on the subject of biological underpinnings of therapeutic resistance in #PancreaticCancer. m.genesdev.cshlp.org/content/early/… In Genes & Development by Diane M. Simeone, MD Lyssiotis Lab & Gregory Beatty Beatty Lab.


The best way to get honest feedback is to reward people for giving it. If you make it hard to tell you the truth, people take the easy way out. When people have the courage to be candid, you can reinforce it with gratitude and curiosity. tedtalks.social/WLAdam Mellody Hobson


Congratulations Steven Strasberg on wrapping up an incredibly impactful career. Truly one of the pre-eminent Canadian HPB surgeons who changed the field of BDI and nomenclature of our field. Canadian Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association Cdn General Surgeons Shiva Jayaraman


I’m thrilled to have my friend Robert Higgins, MD, MSHA join Brigham and Women's Hospital as our hospital president. Bob is smart, experienced, visionary, self-deprecating & quick to laugh. He’ll be a great leader here. Like Harvey Cushing, the loss for Hopkins Surgery is a great gain for Harvard Medical School

Congratulations Robert Higgins, MD, MSHA on your new role at Brigham and Women's Hospital. THANK YOU for your leadership & countless contributions to Hopkins Surgery & Johns Hopkins Medicine. We will miss you!
