Mentoring advice: be ambitious, but never consider other colleagues working in your field as rivals. Instead, cooperate to beat the disease your are working on. Federer & Nadal showed us the path. They are my role models. #ThankYouRoger #livertwitter

Very important study just released in @TheLancet: Fecal immunochemical test is as good as colonoscopy to prevent colon cancer-related mortality. This can change colon cancer screening estrategies. t.ly/y2h4M

Si me preguntas a mí, una persona española con alma latina, te lo diré lo que pienso. No sé si la gente lo acepta o no, ni me importa. Pero Latinoamérica tiene a la mejor gente de la faz de la tierra.
