Eric's #introduction

I am a #writer of #youngadult #fiction, a #cyclist, and I'm into #hiking in the #Seattle area. I recently completed a graduate certificate in #environmental #economics and I have ambitions of being a #science writer. I am new to this kind of social media. I've been on Twitter a tiny amount, never really got it. Also I care about #preemie issues, being the father of one. I also like #tidepools and #photography

My permanent home is at https://www.ericthomasruthford.com

The #Black community *needs* to be talking about #NEC. As we’re less likely to receive proper communication from clinicians, we need easy access to info that can help us make informed decisions. To build a world without NEC for ALL of us, we need Black leaders & voices.

If you know of a Black family that’s expecting, that has a preemie/medically fragile baby, etc., please consider sharing this NEC Society resource with them: necsociety.org/nec-now/

My wife and I have a fair dose of pain and trauma to deal with regarding the #NICU and everything following the birth of our #preemie daughter. So much unnecessary physical and psychological pain inflicted by unskilled and/or heartless staff... Among other things.

Constantly trying to come up with the strength and mental availability to write about this. Not sure if it changes anything.

Now that we have #funding to move onto phase 2 of our project exploring #identity in young people and adults born #preterm, we'd love anyone who was a #preemie to get involved! Please check out our #padlet for info and get in touch! https://padlet.com/RachelC80/lcqjd19e0hqyoo2e
