November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month! This silent killer affects the pancreas and can be difficult to diagnose. Awareness of the symptoms and help spread the word about early detection is important. Together we can #BeatPancreaticCancer 💜 #EarlyDetection

Surgery is a necessity. Yet, it is often unavailable in low- and middle-income countries. There was a time when basic surgical care wasn’t available in southeast Liberia.

I am heartbroken. My condolences to family and friends. Paul Farmer was a titan of global health, a relentless advocate for the poor, and a wonderful friend and mentor. An immeasurable loss for the world. @PIH

I’ve been talking to Jordan Henderson, on and off, for the last three months or so. We talked a lot about captaincy and responsibility, but also about the Super League and player welfare and equality and the NHS and abuse. He has a lot to say. nyti.ms/3wsfhgu

(1/3) The sudden passing of Dean John M. Daly, '73, MD, FACS, is shocking and heartbreaking for our LKSOM community. Dr. Daly's remarkable career as our dean, a master surgeon, educator, and leader has had a profound impact on all of us. We are all deeply saddened by his loss.

In many regions, it’s much more difficult to schedule an appointment if you don't have access to the internet. One state is even flat-out refusing to allow undocumented workers with high-risk jobs to get prioritized for vaccination.
