FYI not only is Pubmed Central a good replacement, @dimensions-ai.bsky.social has a free version with almost complete fulltext search (80%+) for 152 million pubs and datasets. It includes all of Pubmed. You can even filter by Pubmed.
presented our research “The Association Between Pre-ICU Length of Stay and Hospital Survival” at #SCCM2025 today! Thanks to all who came out to support me, and thanks to Monte Medicine and @montefiorecritcare.bsky.social for all their support!

First day in sunny Orlando for #SCCM2025 and had to attend the debate of Pros vs Cons: ARDS with @montefiorecritcare.bsky.social legend, Dr. Gong! Loved all of the sessions today. I’m presenting tomorrow in RST 2 at 2:30! #sccm #criticalcare @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social
