The Zedu weekly wrap - bringing together the best in free ultrasound news, views and opinions from across the internet.

Zedu Weekly Wrap – 22 November 2024

We’ve witnessed a sea change this week…

with the #MedEd and #POCUS community migrating en-masse from X (formerly Twitter) to BlueSky. Following the first migration to Mastodon a couple of years back, this would appear to be another blow to quality #FOAMed (free online medical education) on the Musk platform. What will the future hold? Will inertia mean that X and its users (whatever their political persuasion) keep feeding the feed regardless? Only time will tell.

So you can find our profile on Bluesky – @zedunow.bsky.social – give us a follow and say hello – seems a great opportunity to reconnect 🙂

In the meantime, we’ll continue to spread the goodness on any platform that will have us, confident that if it helps even one person it’s a good thing. What do you think? We’ll continue to use X handles as the basis for any attributions until such time it no longer has the critical mass for wider recognition.

As for the news take a look at:

  • The MetroHealth (@MH_EMultrasound) team’s latest – this time on bedside cardiac ultrasound (22 November)
  • Suresh Paranjothy (@pocus_today) has written a piece comparing VR vs traditional ultrasound training methods (22 November)
  • Jonny Wilkinson (@Wilkinsonjonny) has reelased his review of the Butterfly iQ3 (19 November)
  • The latest issue of the POCUS Journal (@POCUSJournal) is out now (16 November)

A lot to get through!

About to make the most of the hot summer weather we’re getting here in Melbourne – does the BlueSky herald something? 🙂

See you on your platform of choice…
