Pleased to announce our paper @CellCellPress describing the #endothelial and #mural cells in the prenatal human brain is out today https://t.co/LMOQkvfrCP 🧵to follow

#Neuroscientists & #neonatologists: check out The Brain Foundation #Synchrony conference: #neuroenergetics, #neuroinflammation & #vasculature. 🧠 🗣️ 👩‍🔬 🙋‍♂️ 💭 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The integration of families, patients, clinicians & scientists was highly productive 👏🏻@UCSFstemcell @UCSFPediatrics

Some amazing vascular biologists here! Bravo to all and our community!

It’s an honor to work with Jaela and I’m looking forward to the training in mentorship. This PI job doesn’t come with an instruction manual!

The future of neonatal physician scientists is bright 🤩@benfens is the new @NeoTECaN Research Chair with an awesome trajectory to date and some clever ideas on how to inspire creativity and community in our science for babies 👶🏻 👶🏽👶🏿

So proud of @kwp_futuremdphd who won a @GordonConf GRS Travel Award! 🥇 🤩 Congrats to @BrisaPalikuqi for a fantastic #GRS and @KarinaYaniv and Anne Eichmann for an outstanding #Angiogenesis conference @UCSFPediatrics @UCSFstemcell

Basic science is curiosity in action. It’s the pursuit of fundamental knowledge about how the world works. It’s not about chasing a cure today. It’s about understanding the scientific building blocks of knowledge so we’re ready for the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

For their 1 year birthday, my patients Opu & Jojo are hosting a #familyhouse fundraiser. Join us to celebrate #extremelypreterm patients & their equally amazing parents to ensure this resource persists for families @UCSFPediatrics @NeoTECaN ❤️👧🏾👶🏻👦🏽👩👨🏻

A full circle ⭕️ moment interviewing @ameliecollins79 . Dr. Collins was my fellow during my #neonatology sub-I. Fascinating #hsc work (the mother stem cell of #immunology!) ✅it out and her 😍publication: https://t.co/iVPzjIV34o @UCSFPediatrics @UCSFstemcell @NeoTECaN

I love how students consistently bring new energy and ideas to the lab, whether related to our science or our community. We went bouldering this week thanks to Max Hammer, a rotation student 🧗@UCSFstemcell @UCSFPediatrics @LDiafos @Jayden_M_Ross

On the cusp of a major #NIH deadline, @davidj_mcculley was kind enough to let me interview him about grant writing ✍🏻💡Nothing like a tense moment to curate a few 🔥tips

📣 Time is running out! ⏰ Apply now if you want to be considered for our 2026 Class of Survivors, a dynamic group of heart ❤️ and stroke 🧠 ambassadors changing the world by sharing their stories. (📣 Shout out to the 12 incredible women in our 2025 Class.) Application

During a chaotic week, my visit to @UCSDBMS as their speaker and @ucsfhealth NICU was inspiring. Thanks to all the grad students who shared their hypotheses and challenges with me, and esp to Rachel Li, my host. #bloodbrainbarrier #neurodevelopment #NICU 🧠🫀🥼🧪🧬🧫

Molecular Hallmarks of Hydrocephalus @ScienceTM is out today. Grateful to work under leadership of @andrewthale3 @ScienceDame @KahleKristopher with other top-notch collaborators including @LabFame members Arjun Rajan and Blake Zhou! https://t.co/4FUcVXHrOR

Fantastic visit to @ChuSteJustine. Thank you @AlexandreDubrac for hosting me & @JoyalLab @DumontN_Lab for sharing data #stemcells #metabolism #neonatology & of course #neurovasculature! 🧫👶🏻🤰🏽🧠🫀#montreal 🍁🇨🇦was stunning even with🥶 ☔️@UCSFcmfpm @UCSFstemcell @UCSFPediatrics

As a rule I don’t endorse political candidates, and this shouldn’t be taken as an endorsement, but I am deeply impressed with Dr. Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD her knowledge (and excellent sense of humor), and we certainly need pediatricians in the U.S. Congress

Billy Joel’s diagnosis is raising awareness about a condition that’s often overlooked: normal pressure #hydrocephalus (NPH). If you’ve noticed the signs in yourself or a loved one, it’s time to learn more. https://t.co/itZsMuQj2P #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH

This Mother’s Day, honor the strength, love, and resilience of families facing hydrocephalus. Your generosity fuels hope, care, and progress 💙 Every dollar makes a difference! https://t.co/7oKdO5MaFb #HappyMothersDay

Unfortunately, this outstanding program was canceled earlier this year. I’m donating to provide support to the next group of fellows and I’d be honored if you’d join me.

The phenomenonal @PSDP_AMSPDC successfully trained pediatric physician scientists 🧑🏼‍🔬 👩🏾‍🔬🥼for 40 yrs and has a rich history @UCSFPediatrics. We @mattzinter_MD @DevanJaganath @jasonmnagata were fellows in this lighthearted 2019 photo and we are all still in #academicpediatrics.
