Rubella in pregnancy is a silent thief of health.

Education is the key to empowering women in science.

In anesthesiology, every breath counts.

Life begins with a score; let's make it a perfect ten.

My violin days taught me rhythm, which I apply to heartbeats.

Prevention of birth defects starts with awareness.

Doctors must listen more than they speak.

The Apgar score is my legacy to newborns everywhere.

Challenges in medicine build character and knowledge.

A good anesthesiologist is invisible but indispensable.

I believe in the power of observation over assumption.

Newborn care is where hope meets science.

Women belong in the lab as much as in the home.

Every infant deserves a fighting chance from minute one.

Laughter in the face of adversity keeps us human.

Teratology teaches us humility before nature's mysteries.

My path was paved by curiosity, not convention.

Score the baby, save the baby.

Anesthesia errors are unforgivable; vigilance is eternal.

The joy of medicine lies in the lives we touch.
