When your sessions are at the same time, mentorship requires comfy shoes. So proud of Dr. Beth Atoma presenting her research on improving mechanical ventilation in LMIC. She's going to crush it in fellowship next year. #ats2024 @ATS_BSHSR @MPLS_CCDOR @UMN_DOMResearch

Proud of Alyssa Anton for her multi-poster day at #ats2024
Great engagement and very proud! Action shot.

@MelindaAldrich @atscommunity @atstoa Great talk! Well presented and informative!

[drmelzer @amelzerMD]

Lung cancer in people who have never smoked is rising. Today we asked "Is it in the air?". Vaping, cannabis, air pollution, and more. What an amazing group of speakers. @atstoa @atscommunity #ats2024

Tobacco use remains a leading cause of pulmonary disease. Yet, little time is devoted to tobacco dependence treatment training and clinicians are minimally evaluated to ensure they are competent to provide this care.

Happy to say our latest article is published! We found that tobacco use, professional dental cleaning habits, and lung adenocarcinoma are associated with lung and bronchial microbiome diversity and composition. https://t.co/mapKRQ2Z0p

[drmelzer @amelzerMD]

Glad to see our work highlighted. For such a leading cause of death, clinicians get very little training. @MPLS_CCDOR @ATS_BSHSR @atstoa

Great opportunity today to present at the @GO2forLungCancr Summit today. Are incidental findings the most exciting part of lung cancer screening? Maybe not but ensuring we do (or don't!) follow them up is hugely important. @MPLS_CCDOR @AbbieBegnaud @UMN_DOMResearch

@MPLS_CCDOR @VAMinneapolis Congratulations!

[Rachel Ann Bender Ignacio, MD MPH @Drbenderignacio]

Really excited to hype this important paper from @monstrillious and colleagues about addressing anti-Black racism that patients experience during medical care. I'm excited for more tools to provide better care and to address with patients and colleagues.

So glad for this research to get out there and to have had a role in this important project! @ATS_BSHSR @atstoa @JulieBartaMD

Honored to meet @SecVetAffairs and @SenAmyKlobuchar advocating for Veterans Health yesterday at the @VAMinneapolis. The window for retroactive benefits under the PACT act is closing. Tell any Veterans you know to register before August 9th! @atstoa @MPLS_CCDOR @UMN_DOMResearch

[drmelzer @amelzerMD]

@AbbieBegnaud @ACS_Minnesota Thanks Abbie!

I love seeing our VA decked for #PrideMonth! We're here to support ALL our Veterans. Happy #Pride!
