This was such a fun issue to put together -- beyond all the wonderful and well-earned accolades and grants I always get to report on, there were so many amazing stories to share. I really hope you can find some time to read this issue from top to bottom!
Dr. Jeffrey Carter expanded access to critical burn care training for deployed providers when he traveled to the Republic of Korea to teach two Advanced Burn Life Support courses to U.S. military medical personnel while there for his work with the Burns for Providers Program (BP2).
Back at home, basic researchers are beginning to move into the renovated MEB -- the images are truly spectacular. The orthopaedic surgery department held a special lecture highlighting the decline of disruptive ideas in orthopaedic surgery and science research in general and how to harness idea generation.
The students provided so much news to share. Nucleate New Orleans partnered with the New Orleans Bioinnovation Center to host Brainpower in Biotech, a panel and networking event that highlighted the future of neuroscience innovation and biotech in New Orleans and its potential to become a specialized hub for brain sciences startups. Last quarter, Assistant Editor Judy Crabtree highlighted the then-upcoming Camp Tiger fundraiser. In this issue, we have the pictures showing all the festivities, including Pi Day fun. The Sigma art show let everyone share their artistic talents -- you won't want to miss those photographs either.
As always, I extend a special thank you to the team that makes this newsletter possible: Assistant Editor Dr. Judy Crabtree, Todd LaGrange, and Dr. Stephanie Taylor.
