It’s cool that folks can reinvent themselves during the #IDSky migration

Some have been surprised to find plum handles unclaimed eg @iddoc.bsky.social

But the best transformation

Let me introduce you to my brand of ADHD…

Lets get to the important things - when writing, do you listen to music, podcasts, or nothing? #IDSky #MedSky #cdiff #microsky

And just like that, we have our first #idjclub article #idsky

I’ll join in the fun

Ah, so we are just going to the journal model of grants

An honest question for my fellow US researchers. Funding has been drying up for years, but how much worse do we think it will be in the next 2-3 years? Asking for a friend… #IDSky #MedSky

Hello BlueSky and #IDSky community! I am making the jump here and excited to see how we can build better here. I am Professor of Medicine in Infectious Diseases at Emory Univ, a Transplant ID clinician, a viral immunology and antiviral researcher, and a dad of two girls. Cheers!

Oh I wasn’t refuting your point. Just like providing context for people on ggplot.

Also I have spent more time reformatting ggplot figures in illustrator than I care to admit…

But also, people just like to complain that is why

One of the big things for hospital follow up is early recognition of symptoms. Anecdotally, people ended up being re-hospitalized because diarrhea has gone on for days in a patient population that cannot tolerate large volume shifts. More study is needed to figure out when the follow up is needed

While we are all in a good(ish) mood about the move, check out Emily Drwiega’s work from last month. Need to get her on here so I can tag her… #IDSky

As we try to ↗️ I.D. community activity on #IDsky, please don’t forget to add details in your profile/bio.

Nothing is less « attractive » than a blank profil/bio. And personally, I don’t follow blindly

Nothing to extreme. Just remember they are not trying to purposely trick you and bad questions will likely get thrown out

Hello #IDSky and #MedSky. Seems like I may stick around this time. For an introduction to those following. I am an ID physician with an unhealthy obsession with C. difficile.

I’m always game to talk about the clinical, epidemiological, and wet lab aspects of C diff. I talk about HIV after a drink.
