Playdough Surgery - Cesarean Delivery

For your viewing pleasure and amusement over the holidays:

This surgeon mom has been improving her kids' fine motor skills using some extremely detailed Playdough models.    

See the complete playlist for other episodes and surgical procedures by Breakfasteur.

Even if you are not a surgeon, or don't work in surgery, this is an entertaining, fascinating if simplified view of some surgical procedures.    Makes me wonder if this kid will become a brilliant surgeon, or want nothing to do with it when they grow up?  

Enjoy!

Covid-19 Vaccine Development & Distribution

Vaccine Development and Distribution

Vaccine Development and Distribution


This is an excellent discussion about the Covid-19 vaccines from the Wisconsin Alumni Association at UW- Madison.  The excellent mix of speakers represent research, bioethics and public health aspects of vaccine development.  

It’s a little over an hour and answers many questions about:
  • development of vaccines
  • safety
  • and how the vaccine will be rolled out.
    • Health care workers and residents of long term health facilities will be first in line, and hopefully soon. 

We are fortunate to have such amazing experts here in Wisconsin. 

Although it is encouraging news to be so near a vaccine, it won’t change the curve for the next couple months, so keep on masking, washing hands, distancing and avoiding large gatherings.
