Nearly 5 yrs after launch, we’ve reached our 400th episode of SevenSeries. The collection has amassed >1.2M plays, w/viewers tuned in for >3.3M minutes. I view teaching as the great multiplier: although we apply our craft one patient at a time, videos reach beyond the residents in my OR & educate aspiring neurosurgeons worldwide. This ripple effect expands to benefit patients through you, my viewers. Thanks for tuning in!

Sure, I love the skiing. But even more, special bonds form when friends & colleagues come together on the mountain, challenge themselves on some tough runs, share new ideas, and ponder neuroscience. Good things happen in mountain air…
