Two very important summer safety reminders from UW Medicine emergency medicine experts:
1. Window screens are to keep bugs OUT, not children IN.
2. Water is fun, but can be dangerous. Always keep a close eye on children enjoying time in the pool or at the beach.

My work on wildfire smoke is being featured on Seattle Children's On the Pulse blog:

Getting to know Leila was one of the best parts of Sleep Fellowship!

Did u know your child’s doctor is paid 25% less than adult docs with the same yrs of training and debt? The way we fund care in this country is backwards, leading to a dwindling pool of med grads choosing pediatrics @bvincibmc and I propose a fix here: statnews.com/2024/04/02/too-…
