This was a great event. Hands down. No discussion. All the glory goes to the planning committee, of which Comms was not a part. What our small but mighty Comms team of 3 did do, was to elevate our content game with the simple addition of 2 key pieces of video equipment that together cost less than 70 bucks. With a tripod and a noise cancelling mic, we did this little sizzle reel to showcase the incredible speakers at #POGOAfterCareEdDay. And we'll be doing more! I was reminded of a few things in creating this video: 1. A little still goes a long way. Whether that's a little team or a little budget. Both par for the course in #NonProfitCommunications. 2. Stretch goals get you out of your comfort zone and can lead to great things. Creating this video (and others) came on our radar mere days before the event. It catapulted us from the basics into a full production unit: scripting, directing, editing, captioning, etc. 3. Ain't nothing like team work to make the dream work! Yep, this cliche still holds water. Thanks to Paula Lacsena for her production skills, Kelly Zorzi for post-production visioning, and Shannon Caskey, CFRE and Lauren Ettin for seeding the idea. Drop a note in the comments; would love to hear what you think (be gentle!). And watch this space for more videos from that day!

Here is a bit of self-promotion. My paper which is the culmination of 3 years of my postdoc work at MGH is out now! https://lnkd.in/dUheEPGH Outside of the obvious delayed gratification this publication provides me, it highlights an unmet medical need for better detection and diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in ventricles) in premature babies.

Principal investigators (PIs) lead research studies. They typically come up with the research question and are responsible for the oversight, operations, and compliance of the study. ACRP - Association of Clinical Research Professionals asked different PIs what inspired them to lead studies, their career paths, and challenges they've faced. Common threads include curiosity, a passion for discovery, a drive to help others, and the importance of collaboration.

I have just finished reading this paper! It is valuable and contributes meaningfully to epilepsy research, particularly for DEEs. By exploring neuromodulation therapies and examining potential brain network targets like the centromedian thalamus, it sheds light on treatment-resistant epilepsy syndromes. Its call for individualized approaches and early intervention highlights a shift toward more personalized, effective treatments for DEEs. This can guide future research, especially in optimizing neuromodulation strategies and understanding brain connectivity's role in seizure disorders.
