Excited to share some pearls on research communication with WINS tomorrow night. If you are a neurosurgery bound medical student engaged in research, this is for you.
We have an excellent pediatric neurosurgery department @URNeurosurgery. Strong work to Adam Li for getting this case report to the finish line. Although my practice is primarily adult spine, happy to play a small part in this publication and to work with amazing colleagues. 💪🏾💪🏾

Had a great time at NSA this year! Standing on the shoulders of some giants! Grateful to be part of an institution @URNeurosurgery that sponsors and promotes its faculty!
A proud moment from the 2025 Neurosurgical Society of America Meeting! Pictured: ASBN members Dr. Cargill Alleyne, Dr. William Ashley, and Dr. David Paul.
We celebrate the induction of our Inaugural President Dr. William Ashley and Dr. Arnett Klugh (not pictured) into the society this year. Their continued excellence and leadership shine a light for the next generation of Black neurosurgeons.
