Friday's Digest

The Newsletter for Doctors & Scientists

For two decades, I've been developing tools that have improved my practice in medicine, dentistry, and scientific research.


Join me every Friday to discover a new tool you can integrate into your workflow as a doctor, a scientist, or both.


I believe in sharing knowledge, embracing automation, boosting productivity, and finding joy in the process.
