The pieces outline his successful career at Johns Hopkins University and discuss his pioneering research in otolaryngology ("It's widely acknowledged that his work changed the field," Robert Jackler, MD, commented), and they offer a glimpse into his home life and share how his childhood experiences "shaped his outlook and values." They also highlight his vision for the school and describe how, as explained by Lucy Shapiro, PhD, he's perfectly poised to lead the school:
