Director of Meetings at NASPGHAN. Alleged Adult.
I’ve been surprised at how easy it’s been to not go to Target since January. I’m just one (broke) person, but my spend in 2024 with them was $3,146.01 and in 2025 $186.98. So glad their app could share that info with me.

Ok 3rd Year Fellows Conference peeps - check out this lounge view over the pools, beach and water sports. Who is captaining one of the electric boats on Lake Las Vegas? #NASPGHAN

I love the 24 hours after I send speaker & moderator invitations out for #NASPGHAN because there is so much excitement and joy, but my poor inbox….if you emailed me…I’m digging out! #PEDSGIPALOOZA2025 See you in Chicago!

Happy Fasnacht Day! The good German bakery with the real Fasnachts doesn’t open until 9 am so we will have to make do with these imposters, but remember to eat you Fasnacht today. #bestdayoftheyear

Real question, can I sue the federal government to have my social security money returned to me so I can put it in my 401k or even just a boring savings account? I mean, I “know” the answer, but also I’m a little (and by a little I mean completely) freaked out right now.

I am Dr. Vicky Ng, pediatric transplant hepatologist 🩺 @sickkids.bsky.social in Toronto and the current @NASPGHAN President. So excited to use this account to highlight the exciting work our society is doing to improve the care of children🧒👧 with GI disorders. #PedsGI #WeAreNASPGHAN

A quick Chicago site visit in the snow for #pedsgipalooza2025 #naspghan wonder what Shenanigans I can get up to in the next 24 hours.

Imagine how excited the actor was who booked “fleshy cowboy hat” was to tell his family that he would be in a Super Bowl commercial. That is now proudly on his resume.

Seal commercial is nightmare inducing. No thank you.

I need someone to explain why fly overs are so exciting. Is this a holdover from when we first had planes? Planes fly over my house multiple times a day, and frankly that’s become more exciting (anxiety wise) in the last few weeks than seeing it at a sporting event has ever been.

Wait, it’s Saquon Barkley’s birthday? Interesting.
February 9, 2025 at 11:23 PM
I wish my TV worked like Bluesky and I could type in a name and every time the camera went to them it just said that content was hidden. AKA I want to watch the Super Bowl in peace without the currently elected person interrupting my enjoyment.

It’s not everything, & for sure not a replacement for the CDC, but my society has a public facing website for PedsGI called GIKids.org & there are a lot of great resources there for families translated into a few different languages. Please share other resources like this in healthcare.

When Musk first appeared in my consciousness after buying Tesla, I said to a friend of mine “that dude is one catastrophe away from becoming a super villain.” I guess that catastrophe was COVID & we all have to be the Hero & figure out how to save *gestures towards everything*

If you are curious about my perfect timing, my son and I completed his FAFSA application just in time for the federal government to shut everything online down so…good times.

First trip of the new year this weekend. Going to start planning #NASPGHAN25 #PedsGIPalooza2025
Which means two days of very seriously discussing burp, poop and fart presentations with other adults. Every 12 year old boys dream meeting.
