Kudos to Adit Ginde, MD, on a $4.7M DoD award to lead the AURORA Project through the @cucombatcenter.bsky.social, evaluating autonomous oxygen titration technology to reduce cognitive burden on medics, conserve O₂ supplies & improve #emergency care.

HBO's "Task" is a great show...and I especially loved this inclusion of secure gun storage! It's a a quick reference, but it helps normalize an important part of responsibile gun ownership that can save lives at home

Thank you Rep Jason Crow for the @cuanschutz.bsky.social Town Hall, and for taking my question about programs and research for violence prevention.

Thanks also for encouraging the academic and medical communities to keep fighting for science, health, and for those who can't fight for themselves

Appreciate the supportive report from GunsAmerica!

I'm proud of the Pause to Protect program we've built to equip firearm retailers with tools & resources to prevent injury & death, including from suicide.

Sometimes, firearm owners need a safe, temporary out-of-home storage option

Out-of-home firearm storage maps make it easy to find locations willing to consider voluntary, short-term storage: Explore the national map 👉 pausetoprotect.org

Youth suicide is hard to talk about - but it *is* preventable. If you have guns at home, please make sure that kids and teens don't have unsupervised access.

It was nice to meet you, Mark. Thanks for the conversation ❤️✈️
