Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.
Always nice when the data supports a hypothesis. Lots of work to do to reverse the frailty phenotype. Low free testosterone is associated with increased mortality in frail ... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
The discrimination between vital versus urgent, is a learn-able skill. I continue to learn this skill.
Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent, and not enough time on what is important. S Covey. Use the holidays to catch up and recharge! #MondayMotivation #leadership @wiscurology
Thank goodness smart physicians like you and other friends are trying to figure this one out, fingers crossed 🤞 that Reviewer 1 is not a hater!

.@rezanab did a super job investigating the use of complementary medicine to affect bladder cancer treatment symptoms, which really afflict patients. Soy (Geninstein) is effective, and cost effective @Integrativeonc
Very nice work presented by one of our @emory_urology chief residents (and future @MayoUrology @UroOnc fellow!) @rezanab investigating the role of antioxidant supplementation to potentiate BCG efficacy & tolerability for NMIBC treatment @virajmaster @ssjoshimd #SUO2021 @SUO_YUO
Dr. Curtis Pettaway from @MDAndersonNews receiving the #SUO2021 Huggins Medal. Supremely well deserved.
And I would add, these are *remarkably* cost-effective markers. By which, I mean, 10-20 USD. These biomarkers are *both* prognostic, and the holy grail, predictive. Super congrats to my good friend @bilenma and my brother @DrDonaldHarvey to lead these @WinshipAtEmory efforts.

We all have those favorite papers that we feel like aren’t read enough—this one with @spshubeck is one of mine!
The surgeons with the best outcomes are humble and open to feedback—they are programmed to improve.
What’s yours?
.@jdimick1: "Do you think surgical skill is a cognitive or physical skill? I think it's cognitive. My favorite paper that nobody reads is where we correlated outcomes to personality. Aggressive, not open to feedback personalities have the worst outcomes." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
