Registration for the #EuroNeuro2024 conference is now open. I'll be there. Who else is planning to go?

@Watergypsy @lennie @hauschildt Thanks for your feedback everyone. The admin team held a vote on this and agreed that we should close the critcare.social server down. We’ll close it on 1st July. Thanks again for some great discussions, and I’ll see you all wherever we ultimately coalesce.

(In my case that’s probably going to be a conference to be honest, I’m increasingly scunnered with social media!)

Sad to see this end, but this is obviously not sustainable. I’m not sure how much I’ll be active on mastodon when this server closes but otherwise I’m available on load.dependent.bsky.social on Bluesky and load_dependent.42 on Signal.

I hope the community I miss from Twitter and was trying to build here can be found somewhere else some day.

Attached: 1 image The critcare.social server was great, and I still love the concept of community ownership of social media, but @Watergypsy and I both agree that our little server is not sustainable. We have never quite managed to generate critical mass here, and it's very quiet now. It takes a lot of @Watergypsy's time to maintain the server, has a carbon cost, and despite very generous donations from the community, we aren't covering the financial cost. Our view is that we should bring it to a graceful end.

I know a few of you agree, including @Watergypsy, @lennie, and @hauschildt. If anyone wants to take this on we would of course be delighted, but my view is that we've tested this model and we have a clear answer.

Deliberately undermining one of the most powerful tools against the threat of global pandemics from novel emerging infectious diseases is not only evil — it’s stunningly shortsighted zero-sum thinking that puts the US population at risk as well.

Really confusing to me the statistics they presented. But I think in was a neutral trial…

REMAP-CAP Steroids Trial Results about to be discussed (not in covid)

#CCR24

Putting #SPICE3 together with #A2Btrial it does now seem hard to justify the use of these drugs in the ICU. I’m not very compelled by the arguments that we should try again with even higher doses given the side effect profile of these agents. #CCR24
