Great evening on a @MethodistHosp panel on cancer screening & early detection.

My takeaways:

• HPV causes nearly all cervical cancer, and we can prevent it with HPV vaccine and pap/HPV testing  • Never ignore postmenopausal bleeding or persistent bloating • Know your family history, both sides

Great day at the Surgical Technology & Robotics Summit (STaRS) at The Bookout Center, @MethodistHosp . I spoke on AI in robotic gynecologic surgery: what's here, what's next, and what we should demand of it. Thanks to my fellow panelists for a great discussion.

At the @IJGConline editorial board meeting at #IGCS2026, a bittersweet moment: thanking Dr. Pedro Ramirez for his extraordinary leadership as Editor-in-Chief, and welcoming Dr. René Pareja as he takes the helm

Proud of my resident @AlwynDO Dr. Alwyn Mathew presenting at #IGCS2026 in Montréal! 🎉

Post-LACC, MIS radical hysterectomy use in the US fell from 81% to 18%, then rebounded to ~30%. But the rebound is uneven concentrated with commercial insurance (2.94 pp/yr ) vs Medicaid was flat.

This is super impressive, but still not AGI. One domain with a compute farm ≠ a general mind. Even OpenAI didn’t claim it.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.

The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.

The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
