    #truestory - 26yo woman with 3 kids presents with malignant brain tumor and she's pregnant. She needs surgery, radiation and chemotherapy that she can't get while pregnant. Women deserve autonomy over their bodies and access to abortions. Yes, this affects #neurosurgery too.

    Before you say, "they allow exceptions!" the GA law allows for exceptions for "medical emergencies", I read the text. Best case, in GA, I'll need an attorney to help me make the case that brain tumor treatment is "emergent". I should not need an attorney to treat my patients.

    First day of work as Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at @EmoryNeurosurg @WinshipAtEmory @emoryhealthcare, so my family thought that I needed my own #firstdayofschool2020 photo shoot. Wish me luck! #firstdayofschool. #nsurg #BlackMenInMedicine @WinshipAtEmory #BTSM @NBTStweets

    1/ This is coming later than most #BlackintheIvory stories, as I was trying to submit an @NIH grant on time. I did not - submit it on time - but I submitted it. But, now, I would like to tell a story I have been sitting on for 15 years. It was my 1st #nsgy interview #OkSoBoom

    24 future Black Neurosurgeons may not seem like a lot, to you, but when you consider that there are only 234ish #match2022 #nsgy #neurosurgery spots AND only 8 Black people matched last year (and no more than 12 in any one year over the last 12 years) - this is a BIG deal

    #Neurosurgery understood the assignment! ASBN congratulates the record number of newly matched Black Neurosurgeons in #Match2022 -24 and counting- easily the most ever in one intern class ! But recruitment is the first step- ASBN will strive to ensure retention as well! ✊🏿

    I am a neurosurgeon and a scientist. I am not a politician. However, in today's world, it bears repeating that immigrants are a source of great strength to the United States - not a weakness. Signed, a Ghanaian-American with birthright citizenship.

    26/ One more thing - when this happened, I truly did not know if telling anyone would help. Like, sure, someone might care, but what would they *do*? Dear future interviewee: Tell me. I will care, and I will find a way to help. #BlackInTheIvory

    Trust me on this - if I can find a window to vote after surgery and a clinical trial meeting, but before clinic, you can, too. #vote

    Finally! Unblinded today. I received both doses of the @moderna_tx vaccine on the COVE study back in September and October. Let me know if you want me to share my reasons for participating in the Phase 3 trial, before all the data that we have now. #IGotTheShot #RightToBareArms
