Proud of my friend @ehigginsmd.bsky.social , an emerging leader in healthcare worker well-being, crushing it with a plenary at @nam.edu! Highlighting his vital work on measuring systemic influencers of well-being. The mentee is quickly surpassing the mentor- couldn't be happier!!

My lab is lucky to have the support from the Hopkins Dept of Anesthesiology and Crit Care Med that allowed us to acquire this surgical microscope- we are now able to do complex microvascular surgery! Also fortunate to have collaborators (pictured) from the JH Dept of Neurosurg #PedsAnesSky #AnSky

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. πŸ™‚

Posture during intubation differs markedly between novices and experts!

Consider vertical head movement from mouth opening to tracheal tube insertion.

Also… #AnSky rolls off the tongue, but I feel like it’s insufficiently descriptive?

@pedsanesnet.bsky.social @sapnakmd.bsky.social @drseanbarnes.bsky.social looks like #pedsanes will be off brand for this platform…in line with #MedSky and #RASky …..should we claim #PedsAnesSky?

Anyone else feel like the workflow to follow people back once they follow you is….less straightforward than it could be? @bsky.app #pedsanes
