I got an email from a colleague today. Would rank as one of the top emails I have ever received! The sort of email you store away to reread on those days when you’re doubting yourself and need a pick me up. Made my day - thanks Cathy Quinlan @CathyQuinlan.bsky.social

Thanks to Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance for inviting us to share Edward’s journey. The availability of this has been truly life changing. Kudos to Robyn Riley for the article Tom Forbes (he/him) Cathy Quinlan @CathyQuinlan.bsky.social #pkd #adpkd

Irony not lost on me that we have had significant difficulties and technical issues with the computers during the “Future of Data Science in Kidney Medicine and Research”

Janis Dionne makes a good point in interpreting oscillatory BP measurements in babies. Device is designed to most accurately determine the MAP over SBP/DBP.

#doctorsforyes is a campaign to advocate for First Nations recognition in our constitution through a Voice. We are voting YES because it is a tangible, once-in-a-generation opportunity to begin to heal, build trust, and unite to improve the health of First Nation People

1. As a non-indigenous Australian, voting YES to The Voice does not diminish my rights & responsibilities as an Australian.

The Voice is set up to recognise & make representations to the Parliament on matters relating to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples. #YES #Yes23

So I must be really enjoying myself here on sabbatical ⁦Cincinnati Children's Nephrology⁩ given that I arrived before sunrise!

Whilst on sabbatical I have ample time to read, but also ample time to obsess over medical linguistics in the papers that really irk me. A plea to use the term 'treatment regimen' or 'program' or anything other than 'regime'.
