Journal club! Resa hosts a journal article discussion from the London, UK Don’t Forget the Bubbles (#DFTB19) conference. (https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/)

Authors and #DFTB19 team members provide insights and findings from their recent publication Women and children first? Gender equity in paediatric medicine
