@PastMedHistory @jkosarchukmd I have a signed photo of Dr. Weaver in his lab that he gifted to my husband's great grandfather. It's one of our most prized possessions!

The two cutest baby neurosurgeons you ever did see 😍 Shout out to Nora for being the greatest co-intern ever, and to Nora's mom for sewing us 500 scrub caps!! #Neurosurgery #ILookLikeASurgeon

Let’s be honest, we’re all just trying to get through our careers without forgetting to lock the bathroom door and having a coworker walk in on us

I JUST CAME ACROSS THE MOST ADORABLE PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HAD TO MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!!

[Michael Cearns @MDCearns]

My last #tweetorial focused on the GCS. Now let's look at another hugely important clinical window into the brain: the pupil. What does a 'blown pupil' really imply? What about small fixed pupils? To understand this, we need to see how pupil size is governed. #FOAMed 1/20

This is Major and Champ. They are the dogs of @JoeBiden and @DrBiden. Champ has already been to the White House, but Major hasn’t yet. Champ can’t wait to show him around. Both 14/10 would be an honor to pet
