I remember that one time I told Shekinah, truthfully, that I admired her clarity of purpose. Actually, also, of thought. Of belief. Of person. In the current world, which doesn't have that, not often. She was unafraid of pointing out the wrong things. gofundme.com/f/honoring-dr-s…

It’s spring! Or, warm season 1. Left for the weekend and came back to my whole backyard growing frenetically, fruiting and flowering. The verdancy of this swamp (Houston)!

It was a beautiful Houston day for the @DrMarnieRoseFdn annual Run for the Rose! I'm seriously so inspired by every single one of my patients with brain tumors, not to mention their caregivers. @MDAndersonNews Brain Tumor Center was staffing the first aid tent! #endcancer

PSMA scans are all the rage in prostate cancer imaging, but it is important to consider how to equitably implement it, starting in clinical research. My co-authors and I offer strategies to improve PSMA-associated clinical trial diversity: nature.com/articles/s41391-0…
