Today is TEN-4-FACESp Awareness Day. TEN-4-FACESp is a bruising clinical decision rule used to help screen children under age 4 with bruising to identify when a bruise is more likely to be caused by abuse than accidental injury. Learn more ow.ly/bFCp50L0bzL @LurieChildrens

Our friends at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago go into more depth in a blog post you can read here: bit.ly/3uCLgv1 and @faceitabuse created the first graphic for a quick reminder of this potentially life-saving info!

Each year, there are 6K cases of child abuse in IL. Bruising is one of the most common signs of physical abuse, but is unfortunately also one of the most overlooked. Here's a graphic from @LurieChildrens for types of bruising to look out for and report. #DomesticViolenceAwareness

Work from @ClydoMary and @WeeChua7 !

Today, Oct 4, was designated TEN-4 day to raise awareness of the signs of #childabuse. TEN-4-FACESp stands for bruises on the torso, ear, neck (TEN), frenulum, angle of jaw, cheeks, eyelids, subconjunctivae (FACES), under 4 mo, or patterned (p). @ClydoMary @WeeChua7 @LuriePEM

Today is TEN-4 DAY, per @GovPritzker proclamation, in recognition of the bruising clinical decision rule

Dr. Mary Clyde Pierce developed an acronym to help people recognize signs of child abuse. “TEN-4-FACESp”— bruising on torso, ears, neck, frenulum, angle of jaw, cheeks, eyelids or subconjunctivae can point to abuse. @LurieChildrens

Governor @JBPritzker has proclaimed October 4,2021 as TEN-4 Day in IL to honor the importance of recognizing concerning bruises and injuries on young children and to emphasize the importance of training adults to recognize, report, and prevent child abuse. luriechildrens.org/en/blog/octobe…

June is #FireworkSafety month. According to the @USCPSC, sparklers cause almost half of the injuries related to fireworks in children < 5 years. This is not surprising when you consider that sparklers burn at a VERY high heat: 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit!

Post-overnight/somewhat delirious note writing is best when your attending (@WeeChua7) suggests listening to @HamiltonMusical while doing it. Prove me wrong. #PEMTwitter

When you are #scholaractivist you need to know "what the hell you're talking about" and then articulate that to others [to move the need for children]. It's also ok to be "academically promiscuous." Quotes paraphrased. #HPSP @AcademicPeds

You also need to colonize your #gut. This means you need to get out of your #echo chamber and understand how others are talking about the problems you care about, in a language they understand. This will amplify your message. Answers paraphrased.

When asked about how do we think about the careers of #scholars that engage in child #advocacy. While others have CVs that look different, you may think of them of as classical (#Bach), while we engage in Jazz (#Ellington). Both are still phenomenal. Answers paraphrased. #HPSP
