Ripple Effect
Ripple Effect
#AANS2025 celebrates the transformative power of individual actions and their potential to create widespread impact within and beyond the neurosurgical community through the 2025 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting’s social media campaign: #aansRippleEffect.
What is the Ripple Effect?
The Ripple Effect embodies the idea that a single action can spark a series of events, much like a drop of water creating ripples in a pond. Our theme for #AANS2025, “Power of One, Impact of Many,” highlights how individual contributions can drive significant change across various facets of our field. Every neurosurgeon holds the potential to transform lives with each decision, procedure, and interaction. The impact of a single innovative technique or a breakthrough in research can resonate throughout our community, enhancing patient outcomes and advancing our understanding of neurological disorders.
