My 5yo nephew said “there was a bad man trying to hurt people so they had to lock dairy queen (where my sister tried to run into with him)”. Highland Park is my hometown and “things like this don’t happen here.” My family was across the street from the shooter.

NEW: At least 25 shots were fired at an Illinois Fourth of July parade; a reporter saw five people bloodied: “As parade-goers fled the parade route in Highland Park, they left behind chairs, baby strollers and blankets.” #twill https://t.co/C2ECNIxnai

@eeyanmiller I don’t know if he wrote his jokes or someone else did but I feel like everything is just a giant crash and burn

Our team recently traveled to Moi Teaching & Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya, through IU’s AMPATH partnership. This program offers neurosurgeons a unique chance to volunteer & train in resource-limited settings. Stay tuned for more from this year’s trip! #GlobalSurgery

I am thrilled to share that I have accepted a new position @IU_Health to join @ Mitesh Shah and @Neurosurgery_IU @IUMedSchool and help to grow this amazing department!

Indianapolis has been a major center for neurosurgery and the moment is unique with more growth ahead, including:
- construction of a brand new Downtown Hospital complex with over 850 beds and investiment of 4.5 bi USD
- expansion of the Skull Base Program with strong collaboration between Neurosurgery and ENT @iu_otoloraryngokogy, including Jonathan Ting, Rick Nelson and Sat Sreenath and much more!
- New Skull Base Lab to open in 2025
- Expansion of the Neuro-oncology center @IU_NeuroOnc with top notch work by Na Tosha Gatson, Mitesh Shah @AngelaMRichard1 and colleagues
- large residency training program with 18 residents and CAST approved fellowships @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update

We will be working to develop world class patient care on open and endoscopic skull base surgery, surgical education and simulation at Skull Base Lab and to continue our efforts on clinical research in brain tumors and new modalities on AI, VR, 3D printing and partnering to bring new trials and collaborations to Indiana!

Go Hoosiers!!!
