"Pediatrics often works in quiet yet profound ways, gently shepherding the life course of children towards thriving and flourishing. "We can figure out what’s going on with patients who can’t talk. Or gently tease things out of ones who won’t talk." captimes.com/opinion/gues...
Opinion | Pediatrics is a varied, wonderful, fulfilling field
Dipesh Navsaria: Pediatrics makes differences at the very earliest points of life, where small victories can massively alter life courses for the better.

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...
“PAY OR LEAK”: Hackers Target Big Higher Ed Vendor
The criminal extortion group ShinyHunters breached Instructure last week. The hackers, who have also attacked individual universities, demanded the ed-tech giant pay up or face a data leak.

This story brought tears to my eyes. Every time purveyors of disinformation sow doubt about vaccines, they're risking the lives of kids. Globally, measles kills more than 100K kids a year, and that number will increase if the anti-vax industry is able to sue manufacturers and line their own pockets.

Tests of intelligence and brain function were the same whether or not people drank fluoridated water growing up, a highly anticipated, long-term study finds.

Another Wisconsin AAP Advocacy Day in the books! First time in the unusual venue of a comedy club 😄, accompanied by our spokescow Dr Moo. We spoke w/ legislative offices about online environments & digital media, and how they relate to the health of children. A fulfilling day, as always. 😤
Thrilled to see Early Voting for the Wisconsin Spring Elections in my building on campus! Convenient, and nifty Voting Badger stickers to boot!
Scene from this morning: Me: “Okay, my love, I’m going to go out and pick up some chicks.” My wife: “Okay, have fun.” And I did.
It is a wonderful thing to a) have a @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social in one's yard; b) be part of @reachoutandread.bsky.social; and c) have a little neighbor who is all about the above. 📚
RFK’s anti-vax Children’s Health Defense was called the World Mercury Project, which falsely claimed vaccines had mercury which caused autism. Now RFK Jr & CHD are silent about children absorbing high doses of mercury from the air. www.npr.org/2024/12/03/n...

Another UW-Madison School of Human Ecology semester kicks off!
15 years ago on this day, @reachoutandread.bsky.social Wisconsin was announced. I couldn't believe that something I had worked on for years happened, with the help of a lot of visionary people.
Happy Sunset Day (at the latitude of Madison, Wis. at least)! 🌅 Earliest sunset is indeed now, not, as commonly assumed, on the Winter Solstice. earthsky.org/tonight/earl...
