- I think these SELECT top line results are the most important for preventive cardiology since the JUPITER trial. Incredible implications for our field. ml-eu.globenewswire.com/Resource/Downl…
- I will be recruiting for a new preventive cardiology / cardiometabolic medicine fellow @CiccaroneCenter for 2023. Now that Match is done, futures are being planned. If interested in this 1 or 2 year position, please DM me.
- It is time again to recruit for our Cardiometabolic Fellowship in the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center. This is dedicated for those with SPECIFIC interest in preventive cardiology and cardiometabolic disease. If interested, please DM me and I will ask for your CV and PS.

- So happy for my two star senior research fellows! @HassanMirbolouk matched at Yale, and @solaorimoloye matched at Vanderbilt (one of my alma maters). Continues the great @CiccaroneCenter tradition! Can't wait to see development of my next group.
- Just received my first copy. Great new textbook to check out, very comprehensive 111 chapters covering cardiovascular medicine and surgery.
- Replying to @dmljmd and @JAMAInternalMedOne of the most uninformed pieces I have ever read. The wrong message to send patients in 2021. Instead, we should follow our many great guidelines on this topic.
