Not sure about anyone else, but at
@hopeforhie.org we don't do (and I quote) "wink wink, nudge nudge" partnerships in therapeutic advancement. If it doesn't work for, or include, our families, we don't endorse it. Full stop.
Not enough coffee for that this morning.

A new study shows that COVID19 during pregnancy was associated with a significant increase in the odds of neurodevelopmental conditions in offspring.

This supports literature suggesting that infections during pregnancy can increase the odds of ASD in offspring.

It also supports vaccination.

First ever @hopeforhie.org leadership summit ✅

HIE registries are so incredibly important for figuring out the best diagnostic and treatment modalities for these kids. @hopeforhie.org @betsypilon.bsky.social

Citing concerns about DEI, the Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states.

“How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?”

"I'm sick of living like this" is always met with flagrant responses of "THEN MOVE" instead of "let's change this together". Like, if you aren't sick of living like this, how morally broken are you???

Excited to announce our formalized partnership as Neuren advances its NNZ-2591 for neonatal HIE.

Am I up at 4 am because there’s a four legged critter (likely a mouse) in our cabin? Yes. 😆 🐁

Running government science agencies on vibes rather than evidence kills people.

When the little one gets the whole wakeboarding thing like a champ. Perfect end to a manic Monday.

I “fucking voted for them” this time and last time and next time. Touch grass.

Then why aren’t Democrats doing the human things?

Yeah. I love my dog. But my disabled child needing Medicaid services is in a completely different realm of priority. Eva. People are dying.

I love dogs and think it’s a great idea. But this seems like it should be at the bottom of priorities right now.

Hope in AVL! ☀️🩵

Happy Father’s Day to this absolutely stellar human.

Ope it’s me.
