Join us in wishing the JI's founder, Dr. Nick Hopkins, congratulations for being awarded the Pulse Setter Champion award, given by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. A pioneer in the catheter-based treatment of neurovascular diseases including stroke, Dr. L. Nelson (Nick) Hopkins introduced the subspecialty of endovascular neurosurgery in the United States. He also spearheaded one of the world’s largest and most respected stroke centers where innovative methods were developed to treat patients with acute ischemic stroke. Typically awarded to cardiologists and innovators in the field of cardiology, this award was extra special because it was awarded to a pioneer in neurosurgery, a visionary who saw the potential to help more patients through collaboration and innovation. Congratulations, Dr. Hopkins!

Last week, The New York Times featured a groundbreaking ultrasound experiment in #neurosurgery.
