Prediction: Manish Aghi becomes Chair and makes it into a reputable program

Mitchel Berger IV, I hear he may apply.

He should focus on getting his first RO1 instead

I would also put some serious marbles into a female chairwoman there as they have the highest number of female neurosurgeons of any department in the world.

I'd add that Griffith Harsh is also a candidate. He was high in Stanford's department for many years prior to taking over as chair at UC Davis. Obviously, there are lots of options for Stanford.

Didn't Harsh just start at UC Davis? Seems like bad form to take a chair position then leave it within a year or 2 for another one

Steinberg to replace Grady. Heard he misses the snow/four seasons.

I liked Grady. Would have ranked UPenn higher if he wasn’t retiring

I heard Penn is internally selecting.

Greg Zipfel is Chair at WashU. No surprises there.

Big gamble by WUSTL. Most top programs can attract proven chairs but there are exceptions.
