⚾ #Flashback to June 21, 2012.

Fourteen years ago today, I had the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Brooklyn Cyclones game alongside catcher Nelfi Zapata and SUNY Downstate’s mascot, Medi.

Still smiling about this one 14 years later. 💙⚾

On Monday, I was honored to host the awards ceremony for SUNY Downstate’s Class of 2025 (College of Medicine & Grad Studies)—and then surprised with a Special Recognition from the Class of 2025 and the Med Council. Deeply grateful. 💙 #SUNYDownstate #ClassOf2025

#BlackHistoryMonth2025 Theme: "African Americans and Labor." In 1963, #SUNYDownstate was being built, but #Black and #Latino construction workers were barred. Demonstrations co-sponored by the #UrbanLeague, #NACCP, and more began picketing and blocked access to the worksite, leading to arrests.
You get what you can take: The fight to make the skilled trades representative
Why, in one of the most diverse cities in America, with many highly skilled laborers, were many construction sites almost all lily-white?

Rosacea looks different at every age. Hilary Baldwin, MD, @sunydownstate walks through a single patient's journey from red-cheeked toddler to rhinophyma and ocular disease in older age, and why treatment may change at every stage. #MauiDerm2026
From Red-Cheeked Baby to Bulbous Nose: Rosacea, Start to Finish | HCPLive
At Maui Derm Summer 2026, Hilary Baldwin, MD, used a single theoretical patient to illustrate how rosacea subtypes evolve and how treatment should follow suit.

#2025Reflections (2/3): Leadership shows itself when the stakes are high. At @SUNYDownstate and in @NASPAtweets @NASPA2 spaces, I was reminded that leadership is forged under pressure. As @AskDrRuth taught: be the turtle you can’t move forward without sticking your neck out. 🐢
