An infinitely curious orthopaedic researcher focused on value-based healthcare and education. Passionate supporter of the arts and creative genius.

On the last leg of a nearly 17 hour drive with my daughters. We are a bit delirious and slap happy. Conversation is currently like "...like I don't even know how Blutooth works. And how does everyone have their own cloud? Where IS the cloud?"

Good morning, UConn Nation!

How are we all feeling this beautiful morning?

It took 34 years and one day but the shot of all shots was just topped by @UConnMBB. Never change the channel because a LOT can happen in under 2 seconds of college basketball!!

Ever wanted to know about clinical research? New series for students, trainees, clinicians who care about patient outcomes, and anyone curious about how medicine moves forward. #ClinicalResearch #MedTwitter #HealthcareResearch https://t.co/wHEUEOasJq

Professional athletes play hard and injuries are common. Pompeu with STL CITY suffered a shoulder dislocation tonight, just a year after his 2024 season ending fibula fracture and ankle dislocation. Thankfully, he walked off the pitch tonight. #sportsmedicine #orthoinjury

NIH no longer funding studies just using animal models. Research must use/include computational modeling or AI models. Won’t be long until clinical trials are going to do the same. #AIMedicine #betterdata #betterresearch #fundingpriorities

Dear politicians. I have never, and I mean NEVER looked at a piece of junk mail or a spam text from you and thought, “yep, totally changed my mind.” In fact, it does quite the opposite. #nomorejunkmail

@EmilyHarper5567 @EURO2024 His teammate signaled distress immediately and a stretcher should have gone on as soon as neuro posturing started. Seconds count with an injury like this.

Horrific head injury for Barnabás Varga on the pitch in the Scotland v Hungary @EURO2024 match. Disappointing slow response by the match medical team to get the stretcher dispatched.

Characters like this are too common in science and academia. Let's hope we continue to see stories like this where they are rooted out. https://t.co/PuduON8bWF

Had a great time presenting to medical students @QuinnipiacU about orthopaedic research opportunities with @THOfNewEngland. It’s gonna be a great year!

PubMed has new search features, including searches for preprints. Read through this and save yourself some time on your next lit search via @JAMANetwork https://t.co/AI7p1I1lyV
