So proud to welcome the next generation of surgeons to the University of Washington! One of my favorite traditions of the year is when our new interns are announced during our annual resident research day

Packed house for the #SAGES2025 Marks lecture on Ethics of AI in surgery. Fantastic talk from Professor van Wynsberg. Very thought provoking, including a focus on the sustainability of the infrastructure of AI. Massive carbon footprint.

Flying to LA for #SAGES2025 and had a spectacular view of Mount St. Helens in the snow. You can see marks from the eruption of 1980. Great start to a great week.

Latest paper from our group: Male and Female Surgeons received equivalent number of industry payments, but median payment is 2.8X higher for males. Lots of potential downstream effects in addition to direct financial implications. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

Lots of hernia nerds here at the #ACSCC24 meeting. We all struggle with the issue of hernias in patients with obesity. No clear answers, need to individualize to the patient
