I wish to clarify that the bulk of the groundbreaking work you describe on preventing brain damage in newborns (see Nature 540, 17–18; 2016) was in fact carried out at Seattle Children's Hospital, where Sandra Juul is chief of neonatology. Given that US paediatric institutions are woefully underfunded (see, for example, go.nature.com/2kpncgn), we believe that public awareness of their key clinical and research contributions is crucial.
