Next week, we will send off 38 summer research interns BarrowNeurological with a research symposium packed with student presentations, posters and a keynote speaker who has been my mentor for 25 years! I could not be more excited to welcome Dr. Huganir @rhuganir to Barrow!

The Sonntag Spine Virtual Reality Lab loves our Research Fellow Juan Pedro Giraldo, MD! He's smart,a great team player, kind and fun, AND accomplishes amazing work!

1. Using AI tools to trick, mislead, or defraud people is illegal. This week FTC announced an enforcement sweep against multiple firms that baselessly hyped their AI products or sold AI tools that turbocharged deceptive practices. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

Enjoyed my visit to Stanford Medicine IMMERS lab this visit to Bay Area while in town for Meta Connect! Planning to upload more interesting photos from my trip. #metaconnect2024 Meta #MetaConnect #MetaConnect2024 Stanford Medicine

Go check out Barrow’s and other neurosurgical illustrations with Peter M. Lawrence at CNS! Some by surgeon artists!

2. FTC will work with state and federal enforcement partners to hold accountable any bad actors that exploit the crisis to illegally take advantage of Americans. If you spot practices that may be fraudulent or illegal, you can report them to FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov

To enhance #GlobalNeurosurgical education, we need to understand the community's needs. Pause scrolling and take 5-mins to take our survey #Neurosurgeons, #OrthopedicSurgeons, fellows, and residents, we want your insights. bar.rw/vrsurvey

Please share with any undergraduate student interested in a neuroscience research internship BarrowNeurological!

Knowing spinal arterial anatomy is a given.   Knowing spinal venous anatomy is next level   Vertebral venous plexus can be both good & evil--good for collaterals, bad for tumor spread, infxn, & emboli...and spinal CSF fistulas!   Here’s the anatomy you MUST know if you are doing

In Dr. Uribe's words "Our goal is to ensure that residents are fully prepared to excel when they enter the OR.

Congrats to the #SonntagVRLab on their recent Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine publication reviewing the current state & future potential of #mixedreality applications on #neurosurgery training. They also introduced their 1st MR prototype for #spine #neurosurgerytraining: bar.rw/mrjns

In addition to raising $14M, Barrow Ball honored our 2 legends: Sonntag & Spetzler. They exuded natural chemistry, put The BNI on the map, were its heart & soul, pushed each other to new heights, created neurosurgical Camelot. They set the high standards we strive to reach even

Nearly 5 yrs after launch, we’ve reached our 400th episode of SevenSeries. The collection has amassed >1.2M plays, w/viewers tuned in for >3.3M minutes. I view teaching as the great multiplier: although we apply our craft one patient at a time, videos reach beyond the residents

Impressive demo. This makes sense to me as a playful expansion of a beloved app. You can tell the team had fun creating it and they made a lot of smart and creative design decisions. Hope to see more MR experiences like this.

Congratulations Juan Pedro Giraldo, MD!!! Bittersweet to have you move on from what your hard work has built on our team as Research Fellow, but so excited to see where your future hard work and innovation takes you!!!
