@realgdt.bsky.social This weekend I watched the new Frankenstein movie. What a delight to see the true message presented. In 2007 the British Medical Journal commissioned me to review Frankenstein as a classic medical text. I hope GDT appreciates all his praise.

Another day, another chess match in a cat cafe. This time against the legendary wildlife photographer and former chess club nerd, Julie Price. She bragged about crushing me in every one of our prior matches but with kitty distractions in place the tables were turned today. Oh yeah!

The Oncologist’s Garden: winter colors. The seed goes quickly as the temperatures drop. Fewer birds but those that stay need the food all the more. Even a magpie hopped by today

Had fun recording an interview with Colorado Public Radio’s Andrea Dukakis today. She didn’t shy from the big questions. ‘So would you use MAID?’ ‘What do you think happens after death?’

South Africa to Canada to the USA and now one of the architects of the FDAs Project Optimus. At the heart of JFZ is a passion to do right by patients. The wrong dose compromises safety and efficacy. In dose escalation we only look at a few people at each dose level.

What makes a good day? A still warm enough day to put the top down on my 2004 convertible? Stepping back from a committee (even if it was fun)? Sharing the house with a curious cat? 😀 All of the above today
