We have a new paper out in @ofidjournal.bsky.social this week, the 'Methods' paper I have been wanting to write for a while. I am grateful to my collaborators, Kim Claeys and @tttimbrook.bsky.social, for taking this journey in IVD thought leadership with me.

Dying for beauty: Tuberculosis (TB) shaped the Romantic ideal—delicate, ethereal and tinged with mortality. Examine how TB influenced Romantic Period fine arts and how that influence is felt today. asm.org/articles/202...

I loved this question!

In this new ASM/JCM publication, we summarize discussions from the 2024 Clin Micro Open Conference, with a focus on the application of AI in clin micro. We include a review of established & emergent AI tools, potential benefits, & challenges.

3/ The fields of ID, public health, and IVD are essential & save lives every day. Without them, we (and the people we love) are less safe. Endless thanks to Drs. McCreary and Nguyen-Tran for conveying that message today.

1/ Can’t get over the energy I feel from the session I was fortunate enough to help moderate at the bioMérieux North American meeting this morning. Alongside my co-moderator (the incredible Lauren Hunt, PharmD, BCIDP), we led a session focused on being inspired by purpose in medicine.

"Working at the bench in the clinical micro lab was the coolest thing I've ever done...it's why I'm any good at what I do today -- that's a fact." ~ Andrea Prinzi

Thx so much to Drs. Eli Theel, Alex McAdam & Alexandrs Bryson for the fun convo 🔬

Literally was just thinking about this today as I continue to struggle to get reviewers during the holiday season (for good reason)

If you find yourself speaking to the media/public about polio or measles, remember to say there are no treatments or cures. If you’re infected you can be paralyzed or die. #medsky #idsky

Today’s #SciComm is right in line with this post on the ESBL confirmation dilemma:

Learn how we're improving health through research: https://cctsi.cuanschutz.edu/

Almost a month after joining the site, we have over 90 clinical microbiologists in the "Clinical Microbiology" starter pack! While not quite the atmospheric rise of the #IDSky group, we'll keep recruiting!

Please share and let your #clinmicro colleagues know how to find us when they arrive!

100% this. My heart aches deeply over all that is lost when we lose/forget/abandon the art of writing.

Wow, that was a fun project! End of Week 4, my thought? #IDSky is here to stay. What do you think?

Post numbers have been high and stable. Engagement has also been great as well.
