#096 - Journal Club 38

Hello Friends 👋

We are happy to bring you a new episode of Journal Club, with new articles and studies fresh off the press. This week, we review the latest publication from the New England Journal of Medicine about the effects of DHA supplementation in preterm infants and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 5 years. We have so many more interesting articles and we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

We are also very excited to introduce to the show a new member of the team, Priya Patel PharmD. Priya, in the past weeks, has taken an active role in the production of the show and with other initiatives carried out by The Incubator team. We are happy to see our team expand and we have no doubt that Priya will be a positive addition to the show.

Have a good Sunday!
