Darcy - It was a pleasure having you at Mizzou for Grand Rounds! Grateful for the insight and energy you brought. Looking forward to future collabs, continued learning, and more shared ideas ahead!

Just stepped into the greatest job in the world: serving as PD for the Mizzou IM Residency. Today we held our annual PEC. It was candid, constructive, and energizing. We listened, we learned, we vented—and we left with a clear plan to keep moving our program forward. #MizzouMade #MedEd #IDSky

“Great night with the ID Interest Group! Engaging discussions on emerging infections, mentorship, and career paths—plus some much-needed social time. Building knowledge, connections, and well-being all in one! #IDSky #MedEd #Mentorship #Wellness #FutureIDDocs”

Thanks Suha!

The Pediatrician’s Lament | NEJM With U.S. politics threatening to erase the gains of science, reduce access to vaccines, and undermine their vast public health benefit, what is a conscientious pediatrician to do?

A powerful and much-needed piece! We need to step into uncomfortable but necessary conversations. Stay strong! #IDSKY

ACIP says pneumococcal vaccines are now for everyone 50+, redardless of risk-factors. I updated my clinic templates today—because, apparently, 50 is the new 65! 💉 #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #IDSky @mizzouid.bsky.social

🔬 BALANCE Trial: 7 days of antibiotics for bloodstream infections (sources: UTI, intra-abdominal, respiratory, skin, catheter) is non-inferior to 14 days in 90-day mortality. 💊 Less resistance, fewer side effects, smarter stewardship. Source control critical! #IDSky @mizzouid.bsky.social

I absolutely love stopping antibiotics any day of the week—especially on Fridays. It just makes that end-of-week beer taste even better! 🍻

Awesome! Thank you!

One of the best state-of-the-art papers yet. I ❤️ the emphasis on non-antibiotic strategies, and not just throwing antibiotics away without a surgical plan in place. #IDSky
