Make no mistake — the reason cancer research is on the chopping block now is because the Trump administration is looking for money to give the tax breaks to billionaires. And why not pay for it on the backs of….kids with cancer !?!?!
I couldn't be happier to collaborate with this amazing group of physicians.

Now we can finally focus on Trump being senile and batshit crazy. Here's a highlight from his RNC speech, when looking at *former* governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker.
I've also attached a clip from the Sacha Baron Cohen movie "The Dictator"

I tell everyone who interviews here for residency or fellowship, that UPMC Children's has the best pediatric palliative care team in the world! @NatGeo @PedsHemeOncPGH @ChildrensPgh

Imagine the words, "Your child has cancer..." Is there a cure? The answer to that depends entirely on research done before that moment, funded by people like YOU. Please support me in shaving my beautiful hair! @StBaldricks @ChildrensPgh @PedsHemeOncPGH

The PBTC 2022 Fall Meeting has commenced! Welcome everyone, it's going to be a great day in Memphis #PBTCFallMeeting2022
Back in person! It's great to meet with everyone in Memphis to learn about the exciting new concepts coming out to treat childhood brain cancer. @PBTC_Research @PbtcF
My daughters gave me more stuffed animals to bring… I had them read the latest in Neuro-Oncology and give me a report @NeuroOnc
My daughter wanted me to bring her animals to work. I thought they could handle some calls while I’m in clinic

UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation and the @MarioLemieuxFdn are partnering to establish a pediatric cancer research institute at @ChildrensPgh.
Actually… the fun fact I always share with the @residentsofchp is that I actually have a degree in atmospheric science. Maybe @kdka needs a pediatric oncologist/meteorologist? #supernerd
Since it's no longer"Heinz" field, use that spare money to make a difference! How about the "Heinz Pediatric Blood and Cancer Disorder Center" @PedsHemeOncPGH? You could make an impact in children's lives! How about it @KraftHeinzCo? @KDKA @ChildrensPgh @steelers @TribLIVE
We told that our 6 yo “may” be able to get a bunny for her fall birthday. I found this list today… I’d say this is close to the definitive bunny name list #bunny #teamnibbler
