Thank you @koconews and @KylieKOCO for highlighting the urgent need for ATV and UTV safety during National Injury Prevention Week. Oklahoma leads the nation in deaths among children under 16 on these vehicles. A DOT-approved helmet, proper protective gear, age-appropriate vehicles, and safety education can save lives and prevent life-changing injuries in Oklahoma.

Great finish for our @OUNeuroscience symposium, held w @OU_Neurosurgery. Wonderful talks by many including keynotes: Martinowich (JHU), Hauptman (PhxChildrens), and J.Ojemann. Also our grad students and residents among others! Theme was connectivity and much to learn!! @OUHealth

Whoa!! Nice way to end a week w/ NIH notice of award!! 💥Our R01 looks at early compression and “pre-myelopathy” (which may have less overt symptoms and MR compression). Excited to lead this & grateful for coming journey w/ Fauzy Muhammad and Drs Weber and Ratliff at Stanford!

Top 50 at last. @Okla_Childrens ranks #49 nationally in Pediatric Neurology & Neurosurgery. A testament to teamwork, perseverance, and excellence. And as we reflect on how far this program has come, we do so with grateful hearts, giving thanks to God.

Our patients are our greatest teachers. Morning Report at @OU_Neurosurgery keeps us grounded: a whiteboard, a case, and a team committed to learning together. PGY‑3 @Ornate_Brute broke down pineal germ cell tumors—proof that low‑tech teaching can create high‑impact learning.

Will Kennedy lived with Chiari malformation pain for 15 years. With God's grace, I am grateful to help him find relief and to work alongside Dr. @NicholasSader in our @OU_Neurosurgery Chiari Clinic. Humbled to be part of his care.

Although open access publishing has drawbacks, a key benefit for M4s ahead of ERAS is how FAST it can get a manuscript from submission to PMID... #JNLSR increased our #ImpactFactor again this year to 0.8 (!), and we would be proud to publish your reports! lp.thieme.de/journals/journa…

Treating an unstable os odontoideum in a 3‑year‑old is a significant undertaking, and I’m continually humbled by the skill and dedication of our team who make cases like this possible.
By God’s grace, the child is doing wonderfully.

Congratulations to our graduating residents: Dr. Mark Stephens and Dr. Graham Mulvaney! We are please to announce Dr. Graham Mulvaney will be staying with us as our inaugural spine fellow and Dr. Mark Stephens is joining the Department of Neurosurgery as faculty.

Pleasure to scrub two last cases today with Chief Resident Graham Mulvaney before his graduation (this weekend from @OU_Neurosurgery!) It’s been an immense pleasure on my end.
Congrats and so well deserved.

Great to find Chief Resident Mark Stephens during his last residency case @OU_Neurosurgery. Honored to have been one of his attending surgeons and work with him here at @OUHealth and #okc.

Excited to see our lab being utilized in new ways.
This year, we hosted our first-ever Sub-I Bootcamp, developed a neuroanatomy curriculum, and created a novel multidomain assessment framework for residency applicants. @OU_Neurosurgery
Looking forward to sharing more soon.

Proud to contribute to our study on pediatric penetrating brain injury in Gaza. A look at the devastating toll of conflict on children, and the resilience of surgeons caring for them amid resource limitations. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… @DrMohAsfa @JoakimStray @andreassen_geir
Congratulations @AbbyYorkMD! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Dr. Roberto Heros wrote his memoirs: amazon.com/VERY-FORTUNATE-LI… . I fondly remember most of his stories from residency @UMneurosurgery. He knows me better than me - “did not tolerate fools well.” Dr. Heros is the greatest; I am one of the FORTUNATE ones to call him a mentor.

💬 Viewpoint by Canio Martinelli, MD, MSc, Vincenzo Carnevale, PhD, MSc, Alfredo Ercoli, MD, PhD, and Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD: #AI yields higher empathy scores in text assessments but cannot perform clinical examination or patient care. Clinician oversight and presence remain essential in #Medicine.
