"There's only so many times you can walk into a room and tell someone they're not coming home tomorrow. It breaks your heart when you hear someone screaming mommy or daddy. It just becomes too hard day in and day out." - Dr. Jason Smith on the toll of gun violence in Louisville

“It is within Congress’ power to require safe storage of firearms, require background checks for all gun sales, eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability, and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines—and this should happen without delay.” whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Heartbreaking. No child should be at risk of being shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.

So important for us to fill this out as neurosurgeons so CNS and AANS know our views. We see the impact of gun violence.

On this 1yr anniversary of Uvalde, as a #neurosurgeon, who has seen guns kill, blind, maim, paralyze, and put people in comas forever....I made sure to complete my Washington Committee Firearm Task Force Survey. redcap.connecticutchildrens.org/surveys/?s=GLU…

Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined. Think about that. Congress, the time to pass stronger gun safety reforms is now.

Did you know: There are just 4 drugs that treat childhood cancer and NONE specifically designed to treat brain tumors. We must give kids a fighting chance. Let’s #endchildhoodcancer. #wearecbtn

Was back at Brown for the 40th anniversary of the Brown University Sports Foundation. BUSF raises over half the athletic budget. Hard to believe I’ve been on the board for more than half of those 40 years and still grateful for my time as a student athlete! Brown Athletics

Not surprised by this, but we need this data so that we can work to do better. We need to improve survival for all children with cancer.

Happy to see data that antibiotic impregnated catheters and iodine based prep both reduce shunt infections since I use both.

Chilling video. As a pediatric neurosurgeon, we see this way too much. We need to do more . . . Since 2020, gun violence is the leading cause of death of children in the US. AANS/CNS Peds Section
