#BEAM25 sets the stage for great moments and great discussions. Sima Porten Silvia Proietti Camille Berquin Joyce Baard, Marianne Brehmer bring upper tract urothelial cancer expertise to life. Panel discussions are a great way to deliver expert opinions through dialogue!

Food for thought by Daron Smith at #BEAM25- PCNL and SWL are more cost effective than URS DESPITE URS case numbers growing the fastest! Makes you wonder if we’re doing the right thing with all these ureteroscopes…🤔

The marks of a master speaker- no slides, one prop, one disclosure: “I’m super super biased, this is something I invented 15 years ago.” The inimitable Olivier Traxer at #BEAM25 when tasked to tell people what his favorite disposable tool is. Great communicators are great storytellers!

As we conclude AAPI month, I'm grateful to Annabelle Fonseca SocAsianAcadSurg for the opportunity to contribute to the WomenSurgeons blog. It's about being an Asian first-gen immigrant female doc married to a white non-medical husband (said hubs in photo): blog.womensurgeons.org/family-life/tw…
