@Elex_Michaelson Yes. I just finished a two hour drive from UCLA to Rockingham. :( xxx

For years, women’s unique biology was an afterthought in cancer & heart research.
This paper makes it clear: understanding gender–sex interactions is key to safer, smarter treatments.
🌍 Big implications for women everywhere.

Decoding gender–sex interactions isn’t just about oncology. The same pathways—imprinting, inflammation, energy use—underpin why women show distinct heart disease patterns & treatment responses. This paper by #JoshuaBRubin in @NatureRevCancer makes the case for change: https://t.co/5JIDp2QCe4.

Truly enjoyed spending time with students and faculty as this year’s AOA Visiting Professor at University of Hawaii-JABSOM. Through a species-spanning approach to medicine, physicians can accelerate discoveries that improve human health. #speciesspanningmedicine @uhmedjabsom

Last week I shared the stage at Aspen Ideas: Health with Jaime Modiano, @drsammytweets, and @SciFleur to discuss what we can learn about human health from animals.

My message as plenary speaker at the European Renal Association’s 2024 Congress was that the natural world can be a source of solutions for human health. The ERA’s annual gathering is the largest nephrology congress in Europe with over 7000 attendees. #ERA2024 @ERAkidney

[Nefrología La Fe @Nefro_LaFe]

Impressive talk on “Finding solutions for human life in the world 🦒” by @BNHorowitzMD The room was completely packed!! 👏🏻 @ERAkidney #ERA24 #InspiringKidneyCare

UCLA Dr. Kalyanam Shivkumar wants to surpass the anatomical atlas created by a fervent supporter of the Nazi regime whose work was fueled by the dead bodies of its victims.

Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz’s wisdom rings true: our assumptions about human uniqueness blind us to the remarkable similarities in the animal world. She challenges us to broaden our perspective & recognize commonalities between human & animal health. https://t.co/PLrGqHRPBC

In my @Doximity #OpMed I argue that breastfeeding women can learn a great deal from other mammalian mothers. Read the article here: https://t.co/7dcxCqde0K. #FHTOL #FemaleHealthAcrosstheTreeofLife

In my keynote address for the @US_FDA’s One Health Symposium today, I advocated for the incorporation of a “zoobiquity”-based approach to medicine for 21st-century physicians. #onehealth #zoobiquity
