Same big urogeek energy, just not on a platform owned by Elon Musk. Urology, Golf, Red Sox, Hotspurs, NY Giants, Nashville SC- not necessarily in that order. Views are my own and do not represent those of my employer (VUMC) or the AUA.

In all fairness, 11-2 is a huge win for IU football. They are the program with the most total losses in college football history.

To borrow a quote from Pedro Martinez

Just so we’re clear, Spurs took at least a year and a half off my life today. Not good for my cortisol levels to blow a 3-0 lead. Not good at all.

For a week?!? That seems like a lot. I will gladly wear a jersey for a day. Of course, it goes both ways although the Irish ARE heavily favored.

If by dumb you mean run up a two goal lead and continue to press hard as opposed to adjusting their playing style, get fatigued and end up giving up two goals and leaving with just one point, it’s a possibility.

What’s the bet?

So very sad. Felix was a real innovator in the field and a prince of a person. May his memory be a blessing

Great work from Bader Mian and the ProBE-PC group underscoring the issues with composite endpoints and the likely equivalence of TP and TR prostate biopsy. I still think TP is the way to go if you can do it safely and quickly but we shouldnt let that affect access and if you do

Thank you to all of the attendees and participants at #AUA2024. It’s you all that make the meeting great. Looking forward to seeing you again next year. For those of you who missed this year’s meeting for whatever reason, I hope you’ll join us next year at #AUA2025

VEGAS BABY!

Dave Penson @urogeek.bsky.social · Dec 15

New format for key takeaway messages at #AUA2024. Hopefully it works even if it’s standing room only. 🤞🏻

(Of course it’s available on demand if you missed it)

Dave Penson @urogeek.bsky.social · Dec 15

Turns out urologists are REALLY interested in clinical trials.

Standing room only in the clinical trials in progress session in the learning lab at #AUA2024

Pilot poster format at #aua2024. “Walking tours” of the posters. Check out this new format in room 301b throughout the meeting and let me know what you think. I hope to make the meeting more interactive, educational and entertaining

Dave Penson @urogeek.bsky.social · Dec 15

There is no reason why all programs have to interview the same way. This is overreach on the part of @UroAcademic
