Dr David Joseph receives @SpinaBifidaAssn Lifetime Achievement Award as Children’s of Alabama and @uabmedicine host the SB Clinical Care Meeting. So much to lear, so many to protect as funds for organizations like @SpinaBifidaAssn are threatened. Advocacy counts! @UABUrology

I’m from a trad Asian household, so words of love/praise are rare from my parents. So when my 80+ yr old dad sent me this “text” (ie photo with his handwriting)… 🥺😭🥺😭 - thank you @UABUrology residents for this honor. I promise to continue to strive to be a better educator.

The marks of a master speaker- no slides, one prop, one disclosure: “I’m super super biased, this is something I invented 15 years ago.” The inimitable @OTRAXER at #BEAM25 when tasked to tell people what his favorite disposable tool is. Great communicators are great storytellers!
