“The flow of surgeons out of research is a problem that must be recognized and stopped. Translational medicine needs them too much.” – at Philadelphia, PA
More surgeons must start doing basic science: go.nature.com/2p3DgmK #NaturesTake
Such a special moment presenting our work at the @acsTrauma COT meeting — and honored to win 1st Place for Basic Science at the Resident and Fellow Trauma Paper Competition. Grateful to @PaulTitchenell, @PennTrauma, @pennsurgery, collaborators, and patients who made it possible.

Incredibly excited to see our paper from @haldar_lab @PennMedicine describing a population of iron-rich tumor-associated macrophages - iTAMs - that promote tumor growth, angiogenesis and immunosuppression in solid tumors out in @JExpMed.

Are you using isotope tracers in your basic or clinical research? Do you want to learn how you can take this research to the next level? Do you want to find out why they call Nashville "Music City"? Come join us in November for a week of tracers and two-step!
Thrilled to officially (finally!) be Penn Trauma Trained @PennTrauma Can’t wait!
Congratulations to two of our outstanding Chiefs: @AlexWarshauer heading to @CUDeptSurg and @AnnaGar33 staying here @UPennTrauma

Traumatic injury is a public health challenge, but thanks to your generosity, we can support trauma leaders like Dr. @ElinoreJKaufman who are working to prevent injury and save lives. Donate to the Development Fund & help support the future of trauma care: bit.ly/3KhHVsP

Very shocked to hear that David Wasserman has died after complications from surgery. Very sudden and unexpected. A true giant of glucose metabolism and a really great guy. Very generous too. A huge loss. RIP. @DHWasserman1
A new podcast is online with David Wasserman discussing Glucose metabolism, exercise and the liver. Prof Wasserman is recognised as an absolute authority on glucose homeostasis. @MouseCentral @GlennMcConell1
