I have passed on the timed honored tradition of rage-baking to the 11 y/o 🥹 I put on Taylor Swift while I made chocolate zucchini muffins and he made an apple pie. Instead he asked me to turn on WAAF (hard rock). Proud mama ❤️

Annoyed bc I decided to read a 700+ page Dennis Lehane book and that set me back a few books, but yay! I finished my 50th book of this year last night!

Dr. Kendall Bell breaks down a new survey showing gaps between CDI guidelines & real-world practice, with vancomycin still first line at many sites & access barriers limiting fidaxomicin & microbiota therapies. #IDsky #MEDsky Read her article here: www.contagionlive.com/view/guideli...

👏 Jason Goldman, President of ACP clapping back at the shortcomings of current CDC/ACIP meetings and workgroups 👏

I mean I thought I heard it all but this ... monologue riddled with lies and propaganda at the beginning of the ACIP is ... something else. 😞

Generic fidaxomicin (dificid) is on the market and it was $6 without a PA for one of my patients 🥹 @sidpharm.bsky.social @idsainfo.bsky.social @sheaepi.bsky.social @accpinfdprn.bsky.social

I love twizzlers but only the original flavor and shape (rope). All others usually suck. But these were too cute to pass up. "Little ghosts" HIGHLY recommend them. Adorable, delicious, and a little bright spot in the world. Plus it's spooky szn.

Amazing group of fierce ID pharmacists (and women) leading the next chapter of SIDP!

Popped into @tuftsmedicine.bsky.social for the New England ID PharmD journal club and got to relive my days as a PGY1 (and PGY2). #ThatMe @sidpharm.bsky.social

Rude there wasn't a countdown clock for this

Honestly, I feel like they could have published this on some glittery orange background but what do I know? #iykyk

It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me 🤣

@jgpharmd.bsky.social we are definitely missing a good crossover opportunity for cover art for the next edition. I’ve attached a mockup here. I can’t help it who the readers will assume is whom.

Coming soon to an IDWeek near you... 👀 Register today for #IDWeek2025 before rates increase this Saturday, Aug. 2: idweek.org/registration

The chokehold @eve6.bsky.social had on us in 1998, with everyone screaming "Tie me to the bedpost!" at the top of our lungs. #memories #InsideOut

Great work done by one of our former fellows Dr. Noah Boton. Survey of the CDC EIN regarding Cdiff medications. (RIP bezlo ☹️)

Thank you to @ofidjournal.bsky.social for publishing our team's work. Proud of Dr. Boton for completing one of his many fellowship projects. Shout-out to the EIN and all our team members (including @payalpatel.bsky.social @mmpharmd.bsky.social and several others not on bluesky).

I woke up from a nap to a surprise spicy margarita that magically appeared on my night stand 😱

Ha. Did you catch that slip from Demetre? "I'm sure you all - many of you are familiar with ..."

Vicky Pebsworth expresses serious concerns about the COVID-19 vaccines because of the high numbers of reports to VAERS. There is a high number of reports to VAERS because (1) it was legally required for healthcare professionals to do this as part of the EUA, (2) there have been far more doses...

The #ACIP meeting can only be described as the battle between science and anti-science. Greatest respect to the CDC scientists who are presenting the data in the face of a torrent of outright disinformation from several new members of ACIP who clearly have an antivaxx anti science agenda.

Malone is now recycling the antivaccine gambit of "hot lots" claiming that certain vaccine lots are associated with more adverse events. vaxopedia.org/2016/09/17/h... This has been specifically examined: www.pei.de/EN/newsroom/... www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Subjecting myself to the ACIP meetings so I thought I'd bring you some joy in the form of a tour of my office plants 🌿 First up, this big boi who started as cuttings from our former research assistant 6 years ago and has THRIVED in artificial light. Even sprouting new vines 😮

Viewpoint: The sudden removal of all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) members and changes to #COVID19 vaccine policy have critically weakened the US vaccine program. #MedSky https://ja.ma/43MpHvd

Successful #ScienceSymposium at the elementary school! AKA the one day per year you'll catch me (....er, or my kids?) wearing my white coat.

It was an honor to give commencement at the @harvard @harvardchansph School of Public Health this year. The new graduates give me hope. What is the meaning of VERITAS? TRUTH Video courtesy of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. www.youtube.com/live/RtyLHjo...

🚨Taylor Swift has premiered “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” in the newest episode of Hulu’s ‘The Handmaid's Tale.’

I really can't stress enough just how critical ID pharmacists are in improving patient care Over 6 months, 10 ID pharmacists were "curbsided" w/ 1,518 Qs, 3/4 from ID attendings 89% of answers led to changes in management!!! @erinmccreary.bsky.social @sidpharm.bsky.social #IDSky #PharmSky

A sick kid, his feline nurse, and the ubiquitous mixing-popcorn-puke bowl makes an appearance. Welcome to my Friday.

Does anyone know if someone did some skeets on #ESCMIDglobal DOTS study? I'm not able to find anything really online 😒

My 9 yo recently found out I have a second job as an editor. He asked me if I've written any books and was sad when I replied no, only manuscripts. "You should write a book". 😶

Kiddos got an exciting start to their day this morning. They won a ride to school in a firetruck! (Their cousin was able to join) 🚒

Once again I'm headed to the 3rd-5th grade STEM career fair & am repping infectious diseases/pharmacy. I created this mad-libs type activity to make your own antibiotic. Any easy 😂 & constructive feedback is appreciated. And no I'm not changing it to "antimicrobial" bc this is for the children
