A deeply personal, beautiful and heartwrenching piece published yesterday in @JAMA_current from one of the giants of #PedsICU and pediatric #ECMO. A must read-- but have tissues and a quiet place available. Thank you @FortenberryMD for sharing with the world. F

The first time you start a research lab, there’s no manual.
So I made one.
A practical toolkit for postdocs and early-career faculty launching their first lab: hiring, startup planning, collaborations, and building a sustainable research program.

A 10-year-old boy who once arrived at the hospital alone for heart surgery is now celebrating his birthday surrounded by family after the doctor who cared for him stepped in to change his life. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in Omaha, Nebraska.

Uncertainty remains in the evidence base for child and adolescent health. Trial quality is inconsistent, numbers lag behind adults, and young people’s needs are often inadequately considered.

Might be the beginning of the end for the systematic review field.
I always knew it was only a matter of time before AI started taking this over.

For the first time, five African American surgeons now lead the Trauma Service at the preeminent Johns Hopkins Hospital. This milestone, recognized during Black History Month, proves generations of determination behind every title. Linsey Davis reports. abcnews.go.com

Still waiting to find any person who thinks the new @SouthwestAir boarding process and implementation is better than open seating. If you are one of these people who they were trying to please and are pleased, please reply below. #BringBackOpenSeating #SouthwestAirlines

Dear @SouthwestAir: Your new seating rules and boarding procedures are a DISASTER.
Boarding is chaos. Deboarding is even worse. Your new boarding order leads to front bins being filled by back seaters before longtime A-Listers even board. This leads to madness upon deboarding e flow of traffic to get the carry-ons they had to stash 20 rows behind them.
And because you no longer allow two bags to be checked for free, there are way more carry-ons, which only leads to longer boarding and deboarding times.
There’s simply no reason to fly Southwest anymore. You don’t have the lowest fares. Miles and status don’t matter because of how badly you dorked up boarding. And the service quality has gone waaaaay down, with fun and cheery flight attendants being replaced by nasty, bossy cranks with bad attitudes.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You used to be the best. You should go back to doing the things that made Southwest different and great.

Southwest Airlines turned millions of loyal customers into hostages. And they're celebrating it.
I'm one of them.
20+ years. Two credit cards. Companion pass. Bought gift cards. Recruited everyone I knew.
Then they killed open seating. Killed bags fly free. Gutted everything that made them @SouthwestAir.
Will I keep flying them? Yes. But not out of loyalty. Out of lock-in.
My status still protects me. My bags are still free. I can pick my seat. Companion pass works.
Strip those away? I'm gone tomorrow. Cheapest and fastest. Done.
Loyalty: I choose you.
Lock-in: I'm stuck with you.
They look the same on a balance sheet. Completely different animals.
This pattern is everywhere. Adobe made cancellation so painful the FTC sued them. HP put DRM chips in ink cartridges. Insurance companies charge loyal customers 40% more - the UK literally banned the practice. Netflix said "love is sharing a password" in 2017 then cracked down on it in 2023.
The inflection point: when the conversation shifts from "how do we earn this?" to "how do we keep them from leaving?"
That's where loyalty dies and lock-in begins.
Southwest says it'll add $1.5B in revenue. Wall Street cheers.
What's the cost of turning mavens into hostages?
What's a brand you were loyal to that you're now just locked into?

A lot of problems are solved by having higher standards. Low standards make everything feel optional. You let things slide. You accept less than you're worth. You allow your goals to fade. Raise the bar higher than what feels comfortable. Your standards decide your future.
