The World Health Organization will slash its budget for 2026-27 by more than a fifth after the US withdrew, and other nations reduced, its funding. WHO reportedly plans to cut back the scale of its projects and workforce to tackle a funding gap of nearly $600m this year www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Some of best work I’ve ever had the pleasure to do (and certainly the coolest award I ever received!) was working with the CDC to identify the novel multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children during the height of the pandemic. Sad to see the CDC gutted today. We will be sicker and worse off.

We also plan to release a report soon covering childhood diseases that were once common and now are not - and how vaccines made that happen. And an updated set of mythbusters. Scientists must stand up for science, now more than ever. 2/2

KLAXON 🚨: Indie SAGE has come out of retirement to release a new short report standing up for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the sciences! DEI is not just the right thing to do, it *improves* the quality of the science. Please read and share. independentsage.org/wp-content/u... 1/2

On 12 Feb 2020, we held our first ICU MDT meeting with Virology, PHE & others to understand what was known about SARS-CoV-2 (not that it was called this then), & begin making plans for how we would manage when cases arrived in our hospital. Feels like a lifetime ago.

Louder for those at the back - if we don’t prioritise looking after all colleagues who work in the NHS then we won’t be able to recover the NHS no matter how shiny the new mandate. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Welcome, @wfpiccs.bsky.social! I feel like the gang is slowly getting back together #PedsICU

We’re excited to be on Bluesky & connect with our members & the global #PedsICU community!

vasopressin challenge: this group evaluated 1U bolus of vasopressin to evaluate patient responsiveness I love this for a few reasons: [1] allows vaso to have rapid onset (rather than taking 30-60 min to build up) [2] we can get a sense of whether the vaso is helping 🧵 1/5 #EMIMCC

Chernobyl did a brilliant job of demonstrating why ideology must face scrutiny, or we all suffer. "When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth."
