🩺@PennMedicine spotlight:

today we recognize Dr. Nduka Amankulor, a renowned brain surgeon and Director of the Penn Medicine Brain Tumor Center. Nearly 3 years ago, Dr. Amankulor performed a complex glioblastoma operation to remove a malignant brain tumor in Georgina Weber. Today, Georgina is in complete remission and pregnant with her first child.

I dont mix family and @X but can’t help being proud of my son @noahamankulor joining the #twitterverse on his @NCAASoccer recruiting journey. Same message to Noah as i give my @PennNSG residents. Work hard, be humble, and never fear failure. @FCDELCO2

[Noah Amankulor @noahamankulor]

Proud of my @FCDELCO2 U17 NAL team. We responded to our first loss in 13 games by coming out on fire today and taking care of business. A hat trick and two assists on the day. Credit to @Coach_Thames1 for motivating us. Let’s go boys! @USsoccer, @DHessDelco, @EPAYouthSoccer
