The Incubator Podcast


Hello Everyone 👋

We have an exciting series of articles lined up for you in this week's journal club. I want to apologize for my sore voice as I am trying to recover from laryngitis. As usual, you can find the articles we discussed down below and the link to a website we brought up on the show as well. We are so thankful to the people who have emailed, tweeted, and texted us stories of how the podcast has helped the lives of patients and families in the NICU. We would love to feature these stories on our end-of-year show in December, so feel free to send us your stories. You can send us an audio message, a written email, or whatever is easier for you, and we will be so happy to read/play this on the podcast during that end-of-year episode. No need for names if you don't want to, maybe just your location (our community has crossed many oceans lol) we will let the story/message speak for itself. Thanks in advance.

Have a great sunday!
