Ten days have passed since the conference Evidence-based Neonatology closed, and all speakers and delegates travelled back to their 35 countries. We have not yet received the results from the course evaluation, but I believe the conference was a great success! At least, many delegates and speakers told us that it was! I hope we will not disappoint the many delegates who asked for the 2nd EBNEO conference... (click here to subscribe to email updates from www.ebneo.org) &
You can now view photos from EBNEO on flickr.com and also see the lectures on the web, open for all! The link to flickr is http://www.flickr.com/photos/ebneo, and the EBNEO web cast is online at http://www.webbtv.nu/ebneo2011. The web cast will be online during one year, till 1 June 2012. The web cast is available free of charge, but viewers need to submit their email address to see it. Please feel free to share the links to the photos and the web cast to your neonatal
Sometimes, taking a new direction make the unexpected happen. When we started 99nicu in May 2006, I did not think much about the long-term perspective. I just came up with "a brilliant idea" and convinced a few colleagues that we should start something good and useful. For the world. Ever since I was a medical student, working with international student exchange, I had believed in collaboration outside-the-local-box. When we meet, we get friends. And, friends help each other. During these
In case you have missed this... Researchers at the Charité university hospital in Berlin, Germany, had (convinced?) a pregnant woman to deliver her baby in an MRI camera! Spectacular experiment! Creating buzz and headlines! If you ask me, this is a great combination of great PR work and serious research. Everyone involved gets fame and cred (also the baby I hope), and the research group will be granted to take their work to new heights. We need to learn more about the birthday, pr
Two years ago, I wrote about a large project that I initiated with another colleague and a "premiee"-parent, "Small child foundation" (Swe. Lilla barnet fond). The idea was to create a nation-wide charity foundation for research about newborn babies and their future health. Similar to March of Dimes. The "Lilla barnets fond" was officially founded late 2008, and since then we have worked hard (as volunteers) with strategic issues, including fund-raising and PR. This is a follow-up report wit
Cognitive surplus. Have not heard about it? Not me either until I read this article in Wired. Now I am reading the book "Cognitive surplus, creativity and generosity in a connected age". Clay Shirky outlines very interesting ideas. In fact, he explains why 99nicu has happened The equation is: Educated people, some free time, a motivation to share, the social nature of man and modern tools, these factors aggregate the cognitive surplus and create communities. Like lolcats on ICanHasCh
Friday afternooon. Had just come home from holiday and rang up my friend and colleague. For a chat. He was still at work. The doctor on the on-call-schedule had not showed up. Mistake, but still! Tempted by the "short notice bonus" for the night shift (money can drive me to do things too...), I volunteered, went to the NICU, changed clothes and was handed over the new pager. The new pager - a massively bulky something! (new and modern technical things tends to get smaller and smaller. May
When 99nicu opened in 2006, we were adopters of the main idea with Internet, the power of dialogue and sharing. Why not use that for professionals? And, we saw lots of possibilities and the sky was the limit. Today, professional social networks directed to staff in health care are becoming increasingly common and popular, and some of them have grown huge! Like www.sermo.com. (If you want to read an over-view of the largest sites, read this blog post by David Isaacson, community manager at d
In my real-world-job as managing editor of the Swedish Medical Journal, I got an email from a reader regarding one of my editorials. I had written about general principles in the world of sports and that the world of health care have lessons to learn. For example, that the degree of success depends on the extent of practise, preparation, team work etc. (btw, greetings to Spain being World Cup Champs 2010, you're worth it ) Anyway, this reader posted a video clip about how we feel motivation
Four years ago, I got an idea to start an Internet community for neonatal staff. At that time I was a member of a Swedish Mac-computer community and had realized that web-based professional networks can become great resources. (BTW, this is pre-historical times of today's Social Media-hype.) I convinced a few of my friends in the NICU at Karolinska to spend MUCH time to set the whole thing up... The 11th of May 2006 was the official opening! It is hard to summarize the development during
I don't read many blogs, but I follow The Premie Experiment (http://thepreemieexperiment.blogspot.com/) and Science-Based Medicine (http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/) Still, there is one neonatal blog that I certainly miss, Neonatal Doc (http://neonataldoc.blogspot.com/) Whoever this person is, I would like to read more! If this whoever person reads this, please email me personally at stefan.johansson@ki.se would love to hear more from you and to offer you a anonymeous blog space here
I live in Sweden. That's a non-Ipad-land. Probably for a long time. (2011?) I just browsed several of the reviews from Over There, and even Walt Mossberg at Wall Street Journal likes it. And David Pogue at NYT wrote two reviews, one for "techies" and one for everyone else! Come on Jobs - get the Ipad localised in Swedish (with åäö etc) and send me one!

We had an unpleasant experience last week. Our account at the web host was hacked. Even, badly hacked! This is what probably happened: I added a subdomain years ago and played around with a Wordpress installation (that's the kind of thing you can do just for fun, or do I need to see someone ) . I left this wp-installation and thought it was resting in peace, not aware of the bomb our account was keeping within its boundaries. Apparently, hackers sniffed this insta
I hardly ever follow TV-series. Hospital hours are not very compatible with that. In addition, I am boring enough to spare my TV sessions for News and Sports. During the previous decade, I can only remember that I saw Sopranos. I got a DVD-box for Christmas from my wife. Mad Men season 1. Not having heard about this series, I was blank to what to expect. Now, we have both become Mad Men junkies... For those of you who don't know about this TV-series (as I did not): the
