- I was proud to see the University of Iowa - my former institution - highlighted in this powerful AAMC News story, showcasing the people and innovation behind academic medicine.
- A dedicated team at UI Health Care helped save the life of Nash Keen, the world's most premature baby, using hemodynamic screening - a technique pioneered at the university that cuts the risk of death or severe brain bleeding in half for very premature babies. His family's story, and the others featured in the piece, was a reminder of the amazing innovations, and the people behind them, happening in academic medicine every day.
