Congratulations to Professor Keyoumars Ashkan on his recent and well-deserved award.
It’s also worth noting that on November 7, Dr. Linda Liau was honored for her extraordinary career and pioneering contributions to neuro-oncology. On September 17, 2025, UCLA announced that she received the J.E. Wallace Sterling Lifetime Achievement Award in Medicine, one of Stanford Medicine’s highest alumni honors. Established in 1983, this award is presented annually by the Stanford Medicine Alumni Association to a distinguished MD graduate in recognition of exceptional lifetime achievement.
Stanford Medicine has now published an accompanying tribute video on their official website, celebrating Dr. Liau’s life, leadership, and scientific impact. I encourage everyone to watch it — it beautifully captures her warmth, vision, and the profound influence she has had on the field. https://med.stanford.edu/alumni/events/sterling-award.html
