"Protect them in conflicts and wars"
The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne recently cancelled their Grand Round Seminar "Children in War" on the basis that some staff may feel unsafe.
Describing the impacts of war on children is not political

If we truly cared about children, we would
- ensure they had easy access to lifesaving vaccines
- enact policies to control guns
- protect them in conflicts and wars
- tackle climate change which jeopardizes their future
Adults are failing on all the above

To have kids engage with the PATROL study, I mentioned in the parental instructions the kids could put stickers on the lab request forms.
Fun for them, and fun for me receiving the samples at work. Hopefully the lab team enjoys it also.

I had PaedSky in the original but no one used it, so I left it off. I can add it back in.
