About

Written by a physician, for physicians.

I'm an ICU physician, founder of Lupe Lab, and the writer of this newsletter. Each week I write, create, and design an edition around the science that's worth reading — papers that change practice, cases that teach, guidelines that move the needle. No fluff, no sponsors, no affiliates.

If you're an intensivist, a resident, or just curious about what's happening at the frontier of bedside science, this newsletter is for you.
