New article in Rhode Island Medical Journal with my colleagues Anwen Lin and Michael Brennan! Grateful for mentorship from Drs. Mello and Knopov!
Among 55 responding US medical schools, 64% taught firearm injury prevention; only 27% formally assessed knowledge. 1/2
Leading barriers: limited curricular time and political/ideological concerns.
Next steps: standardize curricula, introduce teaching earlier, and assess knowledge and counseling skills to better prepare future physicians. 2/2

💬 Viewpoint: In pediatric traumatic brain injury, rapid #MRI rather than repeat #CT for surveillance imaging may reduce radiation exposure while still assessing evolving intracranial hemorrhage in stable patients. ja.ma/4wN3N6Z

Excited to share our @CellCellPress spatial atlas of the human brain vasculature. Across 314,535 transcriptomes and 1.5M cells, we reveal stereotyped vascular ensembles underlying specialized function, disease risk, and segment-selective drug responses.

Excited to share our multi-center study in @NatureNeuro describing the cellular landscape of human brain aneurysms to help understand why they form, progress, and rupture. Wonderful collaboration with @mtlawton, @NeurosurgUCSF, @BarrowNeuro, and @BAFOUND

Dr. Ethan Winkler, a BAF research grant recipient at @UCSF, published a landmark study in Nature Neuroscience revealing why brain aneurysms rupture at the cellular level—research that could help prevent ruptures before they happen. @NeurosurgUCSF

Message from Brown University President Christina H. Paxson: Mourning the loss of two beloved students.
On Saturday, Dec. 13, Brown lost two members of its community to an act of unimaginable and senseless violence. Ella Cook and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov were two young people whose amazing promise was extinguished much too soon.

A year ago an amazing group of people from @RICAGV1 @MomsDemand @StopTheBleed and my classmates came together to help spread awareness for firearm safety and regulations. As we mourn and prepare for the long road ahead, I am motivated more than ever to continue fighting.

Help find this Person of Interest.
If you have any information, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324) or tips.fbi.gov.
Lives were lost today and countless community members are grieving. I am mourning those who have been affected as I, also, continue to process this senseless act. The fight for better firearm regulation/education should be everyone’s responsibility.
We will continue to fight.
My love goes out to all the healthcare workers, law enforcement officers, and members of the community who helped out tonight.

Unintentional firearm deaths are not random.
Black children in the U.S. are dying at over 4x the rate of white children—nearly 8x higher in large cities.
Most victims are boys, most die at home, and most gained access to an unsecured gun.
