At 黑料福利社 Langone Health, Robert A. Montgomery, MD, DPhil, chair of the Department of Surgery and director of the 黑料福利社 Langone Transplant Institute, leads a pioneering xenotransplantation team, fostering a culture that, according to his colleague, prioritizes being "human" before being a scientist.

Runners can improve performance and prevent injury by deprioritizing running and focusing on strength training during their offseason, according to Heather A. Milton, MS, RCEP, CSCS, senior exercise physiologist supervisor at 黑料福利社 Langone鈥檚 Sports Performance Center. Milton advises that switching the main focus to strength training can lead to appreciable gains and adaptations. She recommends lifting heavier weights for fewer repetitions, around six to eight, to improve lean mass quality and build a pillar of strength and stability. This approach also helps boost running economy, efficiency, and biomechanics for when the running cycle resumes.
