During Covid-19, I have spent more time researching Adult pulmonary critical care than Neonatal pulmonary critical care. Based on this blog: https://emcrit.org/category/pulmcrit/ I am both fascinated and disgusted by the approach to respiratory support for Covid-19 patients. For those that have been following adult pulmonary critical care: 1. Are you appalled by the PEEP and PiPs? 2. Are you appalled by the FiO2s? 3. Do you feel like this is Neonatology circa 1990? 4. Do you think HFOV and/or NBCPAP are tools that should be applied earlier, not later for Covid-19 patients? 5. Do you have a hypothesis as to why neonates, who are inherently im…

Visit this link and register for alerts on research papers in any field (like neonatology!): https://plus.mcmaster.ca/EvidenceAlerts/Default.aspx Emails do not come often, like ~1-2 /month.

I want to apply to the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program -- non-degree, post-doctoral award program for researchers and experts from Belarus who wish to conduct post-doctoral research, lecture, or pursue combined lecturing and research in the United States (you can read about it here https://by.usembassy.gov/application-period-…
