There was a hiccup yesterday, I was writing the part 2 and it suddenly got posted as just the title, and the entire post disappeared. I had to start all over (which has never happened before, there are usually automatic and frequent manual backups, but they all vanished). So as I rewrite it, here is an interim, a link to a video about someone I appreciate enormously.
One of the true giants of neonatology, and one of its true gentlemen, Alan Jobe, was honoured at the meeting, being given the Howland Award. Alan has made a huge impact on the care of babies, his achievements are too many to fit in a short video, but this link will take you to a 7 minute video. A full description of what he has done to improve neonatal care and help babies around the world would take far longer than 7 minutes!









Such a nice post thank you. Alan is such a positive role model, always interested in others, enrouraging fellows and researchers. Humble and curious. Many babies’ lives were saved because of him.
