Have you heard of Robert Rayford? He was the earliest confirmed case of HIV/AIDS in North America. His story reshapes how we understand the epidemic and reminds us to fight for health equity.I encourage you to read this piece of #HIV history.

Dear #IDSky, you guys are absolutely killing it!!! Let’s keep going! #Meal-ioidosis #HCWvsHunger @jabarocas.bsky.social HCWvsHunger.org

I’ve been brought to tears several times in the past few days, most recently a few minutes ago. I want you to know that it’s been because of kindness & community. Last week: tears of rage. This week: Tears of gratitude for the people who are showing up, saying yes, & *being* and *doing* love.

“I must sound so ungrateful,” a father said. Where patients usually say “thank you," he said: help me understand why no one listens to us? The “ungrateful” patient taught me: Patients don’t owe us gratitude. We owe them the truth. And the willingness to listen. drzedzha.substack.com/p/the-ungrat...

🧵of beta-lactam antibiotic learning points I developed for learners on rotation. Feedback welcome - there are a ton of brilliant people here who do really cool science in these areas. Would love to learn more! Hope you enjoy this learner-🎯tweetorial #IDSky #PharmSky #PharmEd #MedEd 1/n

I used to be terrified of teaching. I remember having what bordered on an argument with my undergrad advisor, to the tune of, “You're kidding, I could NEVER be a teacher.” 😱 Yet (poetic justice?) precepting pharmacy learners is now a thing that feels most fulfilling -& sometimes even energizing. 1/3

Wake up babe, a new microbiology meme just dropped #IDSky #MicroSky #MedSky

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things or make them unimportant.” Doctor Who Series5/Ep10💙

It’s Doctor Who Day 💙 “Human progress isn’t measured by industry. It’s measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species.” Series10/Ep3

Hi #IDSky! Febrile is a cultured podcast about all things ID.

Hi my name is Kelsey! I’m a 3rd year Pharmacy Student that has been diagnosed with Psuedotumor Cerebri in 2021. I’m looking to be able to talk more about living with it and how to beat the odds. If anyone knows anything please let me know! #rxsky #chronicillness #braingang

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

This shouldn’t have to be said. Be kinder to all of the trainees.

Will eventually post ID and other things but for now, Caturday 🐈 with Echo.

Finding IDSky, PharmSky, MedSky, and other friends here is bringing some much needed joy and hope today 🩵 🦋 Hi and thanks for the welcome, from me and Echo 🐈

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!

Well hello there. 🩵🤔☺️
