We're so excited and honored to share that HOMECOMING will be making its World premiere at the 52nd Seattle International Film Festival! 🎬✨
A dystopian short film about the human cost of gun violence, HOMECOMING asks what we owe to each other, and what we lose when we look away.
Huge thank you to @siffnews for championing urgent storytelling.
And we're proud to share this alongside @bradybuzz , @makeadentorg , and our entire cast and crew.
You can catch it on May 9 at 9pm – SIFF Cinema Uptown 🌿

Keynote Address “Inspired Love in Action: @makeadentorg and Breaking Barriers in Healthcare” by @ankurkalramd at LifeSciencesNY in Syracuse, NY on November 13, 2025. Register: /events/
In two consecutive @jaccjournals papers, we systematically describe the characteristics of hemorrhagic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients in the U.S., and the cardioprotective role of collateral circulation in intramyocardial hemorrhage. #jaccadvances @makeadentorg /science/article/pii/S2772963X25006209
In a first, we demonstrate the ability of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) high-sensitivity #troponin to reliably diagnose hemorrhagic myocardial infarction (MI). We then demonstrate a 2.81-fold greater risk for in-hospital mortality in hemorrhagic MI. Our findings are now published in @nejm Evidence. This work was funded by the National Institutes of
Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (grant numbers HL133407, HL136578, and HL147133) and supported by the MIRONREGISTRY.com and @makeadentorg Ram and Sanjita Aavishqaar Fund; ClinicalTrials.gov ID, NCT05872308 /doi/full/10.1056/EVIDoa2400294
