Wrapping up a great meeting with Plastic Surgery Research Council in Cleveland. So inspiring to see plastic surgeons doing science at the highest levels. Creativity extending from the bedside to the bench and back. Grateful to be a part of this community.

1st annual Duke Plastic Surgery Research Day in the books! With special guest Kevin Chung MD. Surgery and science are two peas in a pod 👬

[David A. Brown, MD, PhD @cutitoutdave]

Epic week in Colorado starting with backcountry hut trip in Berthoud Pass and ending with Mountain West Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting in Crested Butte. Such a treat to spend a week in the mountains. Can’t wait for Whistler next year!

Nice to see these pics of model systems for regeneration. So much to explore in this field.

Starting the holiday parties early. Grateful to have such an inspired lab team!

Thanks to @dr_borschel for a fun visit to Duke and a riveting talk on corneal innervation surgery for our Barwick lectureship. Transcending boundaries of plastics and ophtho. 10/10 for innovation and gross eyeball videos

@_Josh_Currie @DukeRegenerate Likewise Josh! Thanks for coming and giving a great talk. See you again soon.

[David A. Brown, MD, PhD @cutitoutdave]

Awesome science today at the @DukeRegenerate symposium. Whether hearts, brains, limbs, liver, skin, etc - someone is working on how to regrow it after injury

Such a fun week in Vienna with the European Plastic Surgery Research Council! Made even better that wifey @brisa_silvestre came along. Looking forward to next year in Geneva!

[David A. Brown, MD, PhD @cutitoutdave]

Fantastic talk this morning by my partner/mentor/friend @SuhailMithaniMD on surgical management of the mangled upper extremity. I keep telling him that one day all that surgical wizardry will be unnecessary because we can just regenerate them! But might be a couple more years.

[David A. Brown, MD, PhD @cutitoutdave]

@Val_Cigliola @ibvnice @Univ_CotedAzur Congrats!!

[David A. Brown, MD, PhD @cutitoutdave]

Heading back from the epic #limb2022 conference on limb evo/devo and regeneration. So fun to connect with others in the field. Bringing home lots of great ideas as well as my spirit animal for the week Alice Axolotl. Thanks to @JessLaMae and @JessicaLehoczky for organizing!

[Ken Poss @Ken_Poss_Lab]

Attend if you are able!! This has been a spectacular meeting over the years.

Plastic surgery research council 2022! So good to see everyone in Toronto. Rebound after the pandemic was strong 💪
