    Coming in July! “Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity, and Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI” A troubling fear nags at me: that human connection—the one thing children need most—is at risk of becoming a rarity. My book, I hope, provides families a line of defense 💚

    My brave, adventurous 83- and 85-year-old parents in Antarctica. My mom, who hates the cold, insisted they go so she that she will have been on every continent during her time on Earth ♥️

    My daughter got engaged! Watching them together reminds me what true love looks like when you find YOUR PERSON. My dad always says the most important decision you make in life is who you partner with. They couldn't have chosen more perfectly. I know Don is beaming from above ❤️

    A decade after losing my Don, I love that he’s still with me each time I operate @ComerChildrens. It’s an added bonus when I also get to work his favorite nurse Jaime! ❤️❤️

    I started my day with a gorgeous lecture by Dr. Edward Barksdale on surgeons' duty to serve our communities and live up to our unbreakable contracts with society. The lecture was in honor of my late husband Donald Liu, who indeed always did the right thing.

    I'm thrilled to see this study published today in @NatureComms illustrating the powerful effect of shifting parents' beliefs about brain development. I hope it can also help shift society's beliefs about the urgent need to do more to support parents ... nature.com/articles/s4146…

    Ian, who I implanted as a baby, just emailed to let me know he was accepted into his dream school—@WesternMichU—and hopes to become an audiologist. There’s no feeling in the world like learning that a patient is living the promise of their promise ♥️

    Parents and caregivers—the steward's of our nation's future—are scared, exhausted, and isolated. AARP galvanized—and changed the lives of—marginalized seniors. Parents need a similar revolution. Thanks to @TheAtlantic for publishing my essay.
