Two very important summer safety reminders from UW Medicine emergency medicine experts:
1. Window screens are to keep bugs OUT, not children IN.
2. Water is fun, but can be dangerous. Always keep a close eye on children enjoying time in the pool or at the beach.

Summer in Washington means warmer days and outdoor picnics; but also the risk of increased exposure to wildfire smoke. Seattle Children’s researcher @littlelungdoc shares tips to protect children and teens from indoor and outdoor air pollution. https://t.co/seNwfkf5Y6

My work on wildfire smoke is being featured on Seattle Children's On the Pulse blog:

Did u know your child’s doctor is paid 25% less than adult docs with the same yrs of training and debt? The way we fund care in this country is backwards, leading to a dwindling pool of med grads choosing pediatrics @bvincibmc and I propose a fix here: https://t.co/wMnHK7DALs
