Feeling you.

Seems like you being reflective is a great start. Keep spreading positivity. Sláinte.

For initial management (first 48 hrs) of 22-23 wkrs on HFOV what FiO2 do you want to target. I always get worried at 21% that I’m using too much MAP (more ivh?, more long stretch m/ injury?). I try to shoot for 25-30% and wean MAP aggressively. Any thoughts?

Combo but the of Venus and Matisse dance?

A $179 deathtrap for infants. It’s like if Jigsaw started targeting babies.

This just got on my radar - @DrVickyPayne ’s paper on alcohol-impregnated port protectors (AIPPs) and risk of CLABSIs. Short version, they did not seem to work :(

Vicky, so we just need to continue to Scrub the Hubs?

Brian’s Song, De Niro?

From the Luminaria at Fredericksburg National Cemetery, May 24, 2025.

One of my favorite things traditions I get to do living in Central VA.

Taps played every 30 min. Good reminder for why we have this day.

"that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies. Here’s what’s buried inside:

‼️‼️

It’s 10 pm on a Sunday night and Republicans on the Budget Committee are cutting food assistance, health care, and access to education to give billionaires a tax break.

NEWS: House Budget Committee votes 17-16 to advance the big Trump agenda bill. The four Republican hardliners who blocked it by voting "NO" on Friday fold — and vote "PRESENT." One of them, Ralph Norman, said there have been "changes" but wouldn't say what they are.

Did you know that you might be able to get fluoride varnish from your pediatrician? If your access to pediatric dentistry is limited due to where you live or your insurance situation, ask your pediatrician about getting a treatment. Especially now that public fluoride is under attack.

Due to maintenance, Research.gov (including access to NSF-PAR, GRFP, PES, and ETAP) will be unavailable from Fri., 4/25 at 10:00 PM ET to Sat., 4/26 at 1:00 PM ET. NSF apologizes for any inconvenience.

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees:

Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and…

1. Download your NSF award letters.

2. Print PDF your annual reports.

3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports.

NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

This is detailed and notable work. Why did you cite Limperopolous as first author though? Her work and team she has built are impressive, but Dr. Wu should be listed as first author.
