Third activity for #ScienceSymposium! Cans = infected patient. Bean bags = antimicrobials. Can only use antimicrobials which are susceptible per the micro report. Oh no! Some are on shortage 😬 Can you cure your patient?!? (Kids got really into this one!)

Happy #IDPharmacistsDay! To celebrate #BeyondTheRx here are some fun educational activities I'll be leading for 3rd-5th graders to do during the #ScienceSymposium this Friday! Can you differentiate between an antibiotic name and a Pokemon? Can you design your own antibiotic (Antimicrobial)?

@mmpharmd.bsky.social: RSV vaccine access is complicated by insurance coverage. Here, >75% of eligible older adults were covered by Medicare Part D, which restricts admin to retail pharmacies. This ⬆️ care coordination and highlights needed expanded vax coverage.

Yay! Who signed up to hear @jamiewagner.bsky.social talk about CAP & UTI tonight? I think you still can!! (#NoCap) membership.mashp.org/events/Event...

The 2026 #ScienceSymposium is coming up! I've updated the Make Your Own Antibiotic worksheet and I've introduced a new Antibiotic or Pokemon game (some of these stumped me!) The 3rd activity will be a bean bag (antibiotic) toss at cans (bacteria) based on antibiogram. That's a project for next week

@sarackeller.bsky.social: LOS was longer in patients with substance use disorders discharged on outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy to skilled nursing facilities (SNF) versus other locations.

#ScienceSymposium 2026 coming up. What activities to do this year? Thinking I'll have the kids choose an antibiogram card. Bean bags with drug names on them. Based on their antibiogram, they can only use susceptible bean bags to try to kill bacteria (tin cans with bacteria faces)

I left my phone at home today, and it was so nice to not be bombarded with all the terrible headlines. And then I met up with a friend for dinner, and it was a nice pocket of playing pretend.

I did not have @mmpharmd.bsky.social making a 6-7 reference in a CID article on my bingo card of things that were going to make my day today but here we are academic.oup.com/cid/advance-...

Welcome to the first Monday in 2026. Today, I sent my technician a list of 10 patients who needed PAs for their HIV meds. The kicker? Most of them were for Biktarvy and Dovato. AKA 1st line regimens who have no business needing PAs. 🤬 Insurance companies

Last December I challenged myself to not buy a single item of clothing for myself in 2025 I present to you, the 4 items I did in fact purchase: 1. TS TLOAS cardi 2. TS Lover cardi 3. Plain T to make Life of an OPAT Girl shirt 4. BIL's band's shirt (Prymora) Technically..that's merch not clothing

Met my book goal for the year ♥️ 70 books! . . . . . And I still have time for one or two more?!?

Why yes, I *DID* send you a peer review request, today, Christmas Eve Eve. But if you notice ... I added an extra week's time for the turnaround so could you pretty please accept? 🙏

I heard you calling, on the megaphone. You wanna see the micro. As legend has it, you like the PO. academic.oup.com/cid/advance-... 🫶 Behind a paywall but LMK and I can DM you the full proof.

Meanwhile in Infectious Diseases Clinic…

A little swiftmas gathering 🫶 finally got to meet Kristin in person and got to hang with @rheumcat.bsky.social who gifted me an entire box of Taylor's lavendar chai cookies (and others). 10/10 recommend meeting up with swifties

Pink power suit. Gonna keep presenting in my pink power suit #ASHP25

Something I discovered much too late in life was clicking that little "cite" button to instantly grab an accurate and formatted citation for manuscripts. Sigh. Better late than never 🤷🏼‍♀️

If one must spend their Friday evening creating pneumococcal vaccines slides, then one should also put on OG @toolmusic.bsky.social on their speakers and rock out.

Look what I found! @idsainfo.bsky.social @idweek.bsky.social @idweekoutbreak.bsky.social @sidpharm.bsky.social #IDWeek2025

Woot! Who is at #SIDP2025 #SIDP? Fun scratch off for swag ☹️ I was resistant 🦠

Ok, #IDWeek2025 this is what we got 🤷🏼‍♀️

Quick! Taking ID-themed bracelet suggestions for the next hour. This is my last session prior to ID week! 🫶

Today's amazing collaboration comes from @klusardi.bsky.social 🫶
