Our many thanks to Prof Barrington for his support of 99nicu and our NICUVERSE

We would like to share our many thanks to Professor Keith Barrington for his support of 99nicu and the NICUVERSE, our Mastodon server designed as a dedicated social space for the neonatology community.

In his recent blog post, Keith Barrington highlighted the importance of online networks where neonatal professionals can connect and collaborate. He encouraged neonatologists, neonatal nurses, and other NICU team members to join both platforms, emphasizing the value of accessible, supportive communities where members can freely share research insights, clinical experiences, and more.

As one of the most respected voices in neonatal research, his endorsement of 99nicu and the NICUVERSE is not only an honor but a reminder of the power of community in our field. His longstanding dedication to fostering dialogue and education within neonatology has helped elevate these platforms as safe and enriching spaces for global discussion, where newcomers and experienced professionals alike can learn, question, and contribute.

While 99nicu.org opened already in 2006, our NICUVERSE is an extension of this mission, a social media platform powered by Mastodon, a non-profit platform, where our community can engage without the distractions or privacy concerns of mainstream social media. Join the NICUVERSE here

PS. We are planning a Mastodon webinar soon, stay tuned!

PS2. The changing Social Media landscape has also made us explore BlueSky - also a platform with great potential!
