Meeting with Courtney Shea and Be Giant prompted me to revisit my earliest days in neonatal neurocritical care. It reminded me why this work began, why it continues, and why Canada became home 🇨🇦🔬👩🔬👶🧠💗 thanks to them for telling the story so thoughtfully

@betsypilon.bsky.social and many others experts
We are proud to lead this effort to improve outcomes and quality of life for babies and families affected by HIE across Canada. Thank you to our incredible partners and funders for believing in our vision. 💫
Backed by experts across Canada and the support of families from @hopeforhie.org, NECTAr will
✨Collect and compare real-world hospital practices
🧠Accelerate research for improving early care
👨👩👧Empower families through their journey
👩⚕️Train future neonatal brain health leaders
Every year, thousands of newborns suffer from HIE, a life-threatening condition caused by a lack of oxygen and blood at birth. While cooling their body for 72 hours helps some babies, it doesn’t work for all.
✨ NECTAr aims to change that ✨
🌟We have BIG news! 🌟
The NECTAr platform — a pan-Canadian initiative to transform care and research for babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) — has received funding from @braincanada.bsky.social
and the Courtois Foundation through the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation

When someone suggests a new social experiment and you immediately forget you have other things to do 🤣 Now if only I could order a few of these starter packs to tackle all the stuff I’m wildly behind on 🫣🤣🤷♀️🤣
