This week's #ArtsHeartstarter is to point you in the direction of
@Utp___
the Urban Theatres Project. utp.org.au
They have a 41 year history, a base in western Sydney and just an astonishing amount to explore. utp.org.au/events/all/ #ArtsHeartstarter
Personally particularly taken by offering up a model that veers away from a heavily Artistic Director led model as an interesting change. But there's more about them here. #ArtsHeartstarter utp.org.au/about
There's more than one way to support them. (I mean, you can go to a show too of course.) But the financial style options are here. utp.org.au/support #ArtsHeartstarter
Or if you're the type of person who thinks the best option is to kick in few and you can do that, the donation page (which looks like it could use a slight update, but the organisation is producing current work) is here givenow.com.au/urbantheatrepr… #ArtsHeartstarter
Anyway, they look ace. And if you have an idea for an #ArtsHeartstarter for any organisation that could use a bit of extra help (kind of any time but particularly post-COVID), then please give me a nudge.

Sorry long day at work. Has the rule of law survived that guy no longer being Attorney-General?
Just going to note that the respect for the rule of law didn’t seem that prominent when relentlessly carrying on with robodebt despite all the warnings it was unlawful. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
And his version of the rule of law also didn’t seem to be one that thought much of women and kids if you look at that whole ‘ditch the Family Court’ malarkey. sbs.com.au/news/a-devasta…

Bit of a double #CharityToCheckOut this week because I am not quite sure where to direct folks when it comes to flood relief.
First up, both the NSW and Qld govts have links with @GIVIT_AUS - they can facilitate a donation as usual, but also coordinate people listing what they need all over. So people can donate their time/expertise/bits of kit/line up specific donations. #CharityToCheckOut
You get the idea here. Follow the links to the type of donation or giving that works for you. #CharityToCheckOut givit.org.au

Hiya. So a team of us including @NaseemAhmadpour have produced this thing on design of VR and the like for distraction during procedures for kids. jmir.org/2020/7/e19752/ I pinch myself that I get to work with Naseem and others on this.
Anyway. I am now going to get back to a thread on this. I had the chance to do a bunch of interviews for this. About 65 kids of all ages. 35 parents/carers.
And Naseem and crew did a combination of interviews and sessions of co-design and role play with kids. Particularly those who are intensely phobic of vaccinations.

So after a bit of work with multiple crews this week, and lots of refining through education drills to refine what works, here are the current versions of key #COVID19 working documents. They might change as we keep learning of course.
The intubation one. #COVID19
Which comes with pointers on the back. #COVID19

So just to put these numbers (4000-12000 dead, up to 80000 needing ICU in NSW) in context. theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…
Here is a snapshot from the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society CORE Report of 2018. Count the numbers. This is private and public ICU beds. #COVID19 Image
Here are the yearly total admissions as per the same report. Image

Hiya. This Friday night I am going to use this example of sharing a paper via social media to make a more general comment on how we frame studies and query whether people read what they share.
So note the framing here that ‘this animal cadaver study leads to the ability to perform emergency child tracheotomy in < 1 min’.
(And I have two things to note:
- On my read this is a really well done study. Really rigorous. Described with great clarity. A great contribution.
- I am commenting in a personal capacity, but I also have some responsibility for framing stuff for other journals in social media.)
