Ever since I learned about this study enrolling I have been eagerly awaiting the results. Researchers in Uganda took a centuries-old cultural practice mothers carrying babies on their backs in cloth wraps and turned it into a public health tool. You got to love it!

Thanks for the reminder
@janemunday.bsky.social
. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Do you still have a link to that article on drowning that you normally share on twitter? I can't find it. Kids are doing 'drowning prevention week' at lessons, splashing around and shouting! Older one learning to use pool noodles to rescue a friend at least too.

But I'm baffled by the media saying 25th Jan is a "once in a lifetime event" đź”đź§Ş The awesome foursome Mars, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn have been on display for weeks + Neptune & Uranus if you have a telescope. We won't see Mercury until late Feb🤔 đź§µ1/6
