I’m speechless. And lucky to have run into him at ASTRO, where he was, as always, kind, enthusiastic, and encouraging. He was the physician-scientist we all aspire to be. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. 💔

Physician-scientists are a dying breed going from 4.7% in '80s to ~1.5% today. Multiple factors contribute including flat/declining #NIH funding. Translational research is critical for advancing clinical care.

It was the honor of a lifetime to serve as Princeton University’s delegate to the inauguration of Dr. Helene Gayle as the 11th President of Spelman College! The joyful, inspirational ceremony was a beautiful tribute to Dr. Gayle and a reminder of our responsibilities as servant leaders.
