This Penn Alum Hollywood Screenwriter Has A Raunchy New Web Series (NSFW)

dave cowen and upenn
Penn alum Dave Cowen (C'06, TEP, 34th Street, Write On!) is certainly carving a niche out for himself in Hollywood.

While Dave has been finishing his MFA degree in Screenwriting at USC, he's been busy with two very entertaining projects you'll want to check out (one with another fellow Penn alum).

After the jump, you'll never look at a guy dressed up in a Teddy Bear costume in the same way again...

Our Hollywood Dr. Teaches Dr. Oz ...and Us How to Save a Life (VIDEO)

Zach Lustky and UPenn


Did you see Dr. Zach Lutsky appear on the "Dr. Oz" show last week?

On the show, Zach talked about the "golden hour" of medicine which refers to the time period lasting from a few minutes to several hours following a traumatic injury where immediate medical treatment most likely will prevent death.

Zach then shows us how to save a life after a trauma (plus there was a nice promotion for "Miami Medical", the CBS show for which he is a medical consultant).

After the jump, watch the segment to find out the 3 steps Zach will teach you that may help you save someone's life (it was a good lesson for me!)
