Encouraging, empowering, and educating: Informal educators, caregivers, and children as partners in computational thinking activities
2024
Informal learning environments, such as libraries and museums, are key areas for supporting computational thinking (CT) with young children and their families. Educators in these environments are working to offer CT‐related experiences and activities for families of young children, often incorporating aspects of sociocultural learning such as scaffolding and dialogic practices. Because the parent/caregiver is typically present with their young child in these environments, there is an opportunity to provide them with CT information and support so that they can then actively engage in and encourage their child's CT learning, thereby extending their child's capabilities in a zone of proximal development. Previous research by Ohland et al. offers an initial framework of parental roles in CT experiences that serves as a foundation for this study's analysis of interviews with 18 libraries and museums from across the United States. The goal was to understand informal educators' goals for caregiver participation in CT activities with young children and their strategies for enabling caregivers to embody these different roles. Findings reveal that educators want caregivers to play a variety of roles with their child(ren) in these CT experiences. Furthermore, educators are implementing a variety of methods that explicitly encourage interaction, collaboration, and more. The connections between these goals and methods begin to build a model of caregiver encouragement, empowerment, and education in CT experiences in informal learning environments.

Halloween doesn't have to mean candy
2013
Kids will have plenty of opportunities to receive candy, but what they might be missing is how to have fun without candy or sweets as the reward. Since the YMCA is about healthy living, we need to take a look at what our actions are telling the community.

NUDGE: IMPROVING DECISIONS ABOUT HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPINESS
2010
According to the authors, libertarian refers to the importance of the preservation of choice, while paternalism references the sense of concern for and desires to help those making choices to make them in their best interests (p. 5). [...] putting healthier items in appealing, easy-to-reach locations in cafeterias and defaulting nonresponding employees into their current health care plans instead of setting the default to remove them from the plan seem to have the desired effect: more people doing what is better for them.

A Case of Childhood Severe Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria with Acute Renal Failure Successfully Treated with Plasma Exchange and Eculizumab
2022
We describe the case of a 4-year-old female who presented with sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), developed ongoing intravascular hemolysis with acute renal failure from suspected pigment-induced acute tubular necrosis necessitating continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for five days followed by four episodes of intermittent hemodialysis (iHD), and was subsequently diagnosed with paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH). She was successfully treated with plasma exchange and eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting complement protein C5, and demonstrated significant improvement of hemolysis and recovery of renal function.
