The nicuverse and 99NICU

As some of you may have noticed, I left Twitter (X), apart from sending a link to each new post on this blog. I never any longer visit the website and I have deleted the App on my phone.

A great alternative is the nicuverse, nicuverse.org a Mastodon community with many similar functionalities that we could use to chat with each other, discuss research and clinical approaches. You will see also that there are links there to another on-line community 99NICU. They recently organised a conference in Portugal, much of which is available on-line, and they have a YouTube channel which has numerous videos of presentations from that conference. Several of which I have watched, and they are all of high quality.

For example, in keeping with some of my recent posts, there is a very good presentation about the use of antibiotics and the evidence-base for our current practices.

Another, about what on earth should we do about the PDA? Has 3 stellar presenters rather than just one!

One of the reasons for mentioning this now, is the upcoming series of Webinars about, and by, adults born preterm. You can register for them, or, I am sure, watch them later on-line. One of them is embedded below.

    Many thanks Keith for your support, we have seen a lot of new accounts on both web sites!

    I also left Twitter/X some year back, I did not want to have a presence on that increasingly toxic platform and deleted all my posts there.

    Leaving #NeoTwitter was not an easy decision, especially as I had built a wonderful network there over >10y. I admit I kind of miss #NeoTwitter, but the platform itself deviated to far from my values.

    Instead I hope 99nicu.org and nicuverse.org, truly independent and niched, can develop into places to be for all of us in the NICU space.
