Dr. Matthew Saxonhouse, neonatologist at Atrium Health, joins Ben to discuss two initiatives designed to fill the gaps that traditional conferences often leave behind. The first is Neonatal Insights, a biennial meeting returning January 29-31, 2027 in Houston — both in person and virtual — where controversial topics like the new hypoglycemia guidelines, cord blood transfusions, optimal caloric targets for growing infants, and wasteful NICU practices are presented from all sides with the explicit goal of reaching a working consensus. The second is Neonatal Insider, a monthly virtual series combining physiology and current evidence on hot topics, now opening its five-year archive to subscribers. He also reflects on why education that presents competing perspectives honestly is one of the most valuable things neonatology can offer its community.
