Kudos to Ryan Radwanski on his family medicine residency at Hunterdon Health. A decorated USMC vet; software engineering expert; husband (Dr. Julia Radwanski); and father, Ryan is also CEO of Brain & Spine Group, a 501(c)3 organization that we founded while he was at Weill Cornell Medicine med school.

I'm honored by this appointment - and excited about getting started! Looking forward to working with Michael Schulder and #neurosurgery colleagues at @the_rss #radiosurgery bit.ly/4l2ago7

How wonderful to catch up and share updates with medical physicist colleagues and collaborators (Lili Zhou, Wenzheng Feng, Sam Trichter, Archie Chu) and to hear news from industry partners during the American Association of Physicists in Medicine meeting in Washington, DC, last week!

Congratulations to colleague and friend Richard Lynn (richard a lynn, md) – fellow alum of Cornell University Medical College (now Weill Cornell Medicine) and leader in American College of Surgeons — on his compelling book, “A Surgeon’s Story: Key Insights for Today’s Physician”! a.co/d/dglkHjH

These guidelines have been a long time coming -- I'm gratified that WomenSurgeons has done the work. With the right support, young surgeons can get the help they need to navigate fertility and pregnancy, recovery and childcare, and other family issues. bit.ly/4l2ago7

Looking forward to working with Gail Rosseau, Sassan Keshavarzi, and med students Kailyn Hayes & Vidhatri Raturi at #CNS2025. Our panel will give hope (and tools!) to med students seeking mentors in neurosurgery. Thanks to CNS for inviting me - see you in LA! bit.ly/46qnlSH
