What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

Higher levels of excess oxygen given to patients under general anesthesia add risk of injury to the kidneys, lungs and heart, according to a large observational study led by researchers at VUMC. Reported in @bmj_latest. spr.ly/6011Mh5w1

My first R01 application impact score came back at the 25th percentile which is right at the pay line for NHLBI ESI R01s last year. Not sure what to think but I guess 🤞🤞is in order

Hoping for safety for all in Ida’s path
Ida makes landfall in Louisiana as extremely dangerous Cat 4 hurricane. Only two other hurricanes have struck the state with the same force that Hurricane Ida did as maximum sustained winds were only 7mph shy of Cat 5 strength. #Hurricane_Ida 🌀LIVE blog: bit.ly/3kupcho

Congratulations Dr. Stone. This is well-deserved #BHRobbinsScholar! Your work and passion are positively impacting our department, institution, and world
Got the NOA for my NIH K23 this week!!! With this award, I will be looking at multi factorial models to try to predict children’s postoperative #pain and #opioid use. Grateful for @VUMC_Anes and my mentors for their support!
