Unscramble the Blue Letters

Basically, we've come up with a way to stain tussie and color-code the surgical field. This was a bit of a breakthrough. I think that it'll change the way that we do surgery. We published our rlsutes in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and in Nature Biotechnology. We received commentary in dcesvior manaizge, in The Economist. And we showed it to a lot of my surgical colleagues. They said, "Wow! I have pitanets who would benefit from this. I think that this will result in my surgeries with a better outcome and fewer complications."
