I’m delighted that my favorite fishing shop, Rory’s of Temple Bar, is finally getting the attention it deserves. The tee says “if this t-shirt is missing, I’ve gone fishing”.

Congratulations to the following physicians at #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute, who are among @phoenixmagazine's 2026 Top Docs!

Kerry Knievel, DO - #Neurology
Christina Kwasnica, MD - #PhysicalMedicineandRehabilitation
Bryan Lee, MD - Neurosurgery
Joyce Lee-Iannotti, MD - #SleepMedicine
Matthias Linke, DO - Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Andrew Little, MD - #Neurosurgery
Marc McLawhorn, MD - #Anesthesiology
Rory Murphy, MD - Neurosurgery
Griffin Santarelli, MD - #Otolaryngology
Laura Snyder, MD - Neurosurgery

Each year, the magazine invites all physicians in the #Phoenix metropolitan area to nominate their peers across dozens of specialties.

Dr. Kwasnica, a Top Doc of more than 20 years, made the 2026 list in PM&R for both pediatrics and adults. In the pediatric PM&R category, she earned more votes than any other doctor. Drs. @RoryMurphy16 and Lee-Iannotti were also top vote-getters in their categories, and Drs. Knievel and Santarelli were selected by the magazine for Q&A features.

Additionally, PHOENIX magazine polled its Instagram audience to determine Arizona's most famous celebrity doctor of all time. Of the four contenders, Barrow Emeritus Chair of Neurosurgery Robert F. Spetzler, MD, was declared the winner with 54% of the vote.

Finally, the magazine gave a special shoutout to Terry Fife, MD, in its "in absentia" section. Dr. Fife, who established the Neuro-Otology Program at Barrow, recently retired after more than 30 years on our faculty. He was named a PHOENIX Top Doc in 1996, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2015, and 2016.

Eventually, participants no longer attempt moving their hands nor their cursor – they simply move, as if the BCI was a natural extension of their body

This has been my major issue transitioning from aerospace to biomedical engineering.

In aerospace, EVERYTHING is up for debate. you wana put the wings backwards on a plane? fuck it, Sukhoi su-47. Oh you want intermeshing rotors? Kaman K-max it is.

In medicine, people flex their credentials (“doctor here 👋”) and rely on prior art:
“usually are not”
“standard practice”
“typically not”

EVERYTHING should be grounded in first principles and rigorous testing. Medicine is not like that, because of people like Dr. Kelly Morrison who look at a miraculous full body scanning technology that can see through you at unprecedented resolution- LITERALLY SCI-FI TECHNOLOGY- and can’t imagine using it for preventative means- simply because people haven’t done that before.

You could give a magic X-ray gun to some third world, medieval shaman or witch-doctor and the first thing they would say is “yo we should scan everyone and make sure nothing looks weird inside”.

How is this not the obvious response? I can’t see a future in which everyone isn’t getting MRI’d and having their images analyzed by AI.

The future of medicine IS PREVENTATIVE. i don’t give a fuck what any doctor or pharma company says about it. Their incentive structures have been broken for the last hundred years.

An ounce of prevention > a pound of cure. Please, for the love of God, think a LITTLE outside the box for once!

AI control of the hand!

A unique experience today at the The Feinstein Institutes .

I had the opportunity to visit Chad Bouton, PhD Bouton and the Neuvotion, Inc. to test their external neural bypass system — my own hand being moved and controlled by an AI-assisted device.

Healthcare is becoming the next front line of cybersecurity.
Where are your biggest threats + vulnerabilities?
And how will we protect future brain-computer interface data?
