September 10th is globally significant as World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual observance organized by the International Association for Suicide Prevention and endorsed by the WHO to promote global awareness and action to prevent suicide. Reach out, listen, and seek help 😔
An infographic banner for World Suicide Prevention Day, which is observed on September 10.
The banner features a dark, star-filled space background. In the upper half, a highly detailed image of the planet Earth is displayed, showing continents like Africa and South America amidst swirling white clouds. Layered partially over the right side of the Earth is a large, glossy yellow awareness ribbon.
The text on the graphic is styled in clean, white sans-serif fonts of varying sizes:
At the top, the date "SEPTEMBER 10" is written in a smaller font size.
Directly below it, the main title "WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY" is prominently displayed in large, bold, capitalized letters.
Beneath the title, a sub-headline reads: "Think you know someone who is struggling? Let them know they're not alone."
At the bottom left, a numbered list outlines three actionable steps:REACH OUT
LISTEN
SEEK HELP

Pediatrician Dr. Mildred Stahlman revolutionized the care of premature infants (incl a miniature iron lung). She spent her career at #Vanderbilt U. Med Center & is credited w/ establishing the world's first modern Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). She died #OTD 2024. #WomenInSTEM #medsky (1/3)
A black-and-white historical photograph of Dr. Mildred Thornton Stahlman (1922–2024), the visionary pediatrician who founded the world's first modern Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Seen from the waist up, Dr. Stahlman stands in a hospital setting, cradling a newborn infant gently but securely in her hands. She wears a protective medical scrub gown over a collared shirt and tie, her hair neatly pulled back, revealing a focused, deeply compassionate expression as she looks down at the baby. The infant, wrapped in a small cloth, rests fragilely against her forearms. The background is a softly blurred hospital nursery or NICU, featuring medical equipment, charts on a bulletin board, and another figure indistinctly visible, emphasizing her daily clinical environment. The composition is intimate and tightly framed, casting a poignant, reverent mood that highlights her lifelong dedication to pioneering neonatal care and saving infant lives.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.
